While her boy friend
with three red vertebrae
repaired his rock-damaged foot,
unobserved,
finely focussed,
inwardly balanced,
the pretty lady with the long brown hair
precariously standing
on one shapely leg
on this so rapidly turning world
on a windy summer’s day
on a long languid Lanzarote beach
had the top of her head sliced off
by a clumsy photographer
but nevertheless
managed to
cling to
her dainty
equi
libri
um.
