The Mediterranean Sea at Antalya
yesterday. Tonight, we fly
to Kyrgyzstan. But for now,
we all plan to walk all
along the Sea toward the Snow-covered
mountains on the western horizon.

today you and I walked
alongside the Mediterranean Sea while
I kept my eye open
for a silver coin to wash ashore.
I didn’t find the coin (and you
admitted that you weren’t really
expecting me to find it).

We will pay our taxes
some other way.
