Idealisms

The sky is simmering sky-blue

The sea is shimmering emerald-green

The waistlines are grotesque


Such is the march of humanity

Although, to the west side

Nudist bathing is positively encouraged


Yet, for myself

Speaking completely politically incorrectly

I would have them have a test to be passed


A sort of measure of human responsibility

For if you are not responsible for yourself

Who might we be able to ask you to care for


The port is a busy port

The berths are very wide, very long

Room for all of those who eat all you can for $5


Such is the intrusion of tourists

Though at the island’s extremities

Silent contemplation is actively made available


Yet, for myself

Speaking in line with one who does

I would make daily meditation mandatory
