Men with shovels
Land on the soft sand
Press hard toss and turn
To create
Holes.
They might make castles with the sand.
They might mark the perimeter of these holes
With ridges that stand
Until we penetrate them with our bare feet
And put the sand back where it belongs.
They might leave the sand in a heap as proof
Of what they have done.
Men with shovels,
You are missing something.
