you took me by the hand
said that i could dance
this would be my chance
to change forever
i found myself at bejowan barns
also on the beach at watergate bay
fifty years after the event
of rip tides and sunstroke
here i am on the sands
without my iphone camera
watching the surf school
parents and children
a cool breeze blows
sixteen degrees and no more
with combative dark clouds
above and behind me
