Yes, indeed. Thank you for sending me over here. I hadn't come back to AD when you posted this juicy piece. (Little nasty play on words, dere) Sometimes a chance, quick meeting is enough for what it is, don't ya think?

What magic of coincidence: Just this morning I was watching HD Theatre's "Sunrise Earth" on TV where the camera sat posed on a tranquil beach in Costa Rica. One item of interest: An active sand crab, a fellow remarkably like your posted picture.

From now on, I'll save TV time and simply come straight to your den site, Christine. You obviously know what I want.

And "When you look at me like that"-- Just look at them eyes, will ya?

Christine, your work is always unique and interesting.

As I have stated in past I always prior to reading an author's latest work, go look at their profile picture (at least the ones who have one) it gives me a sense of who the writer is and often tells so much about them that often adds to the reaction I have to their write. I did it before reading this poem as well and I had to smile a bit at your picture for it almost seemed that you were staring back at the picture of the crab with a bemused smile. Loved it Christine and as always look forward to seeing your name come up.

This reminds me of how crabs walk. :o)
They walk sideways to the left, or to the right, kicking little stones out of their ways like they are the obstacles in their lives.

A thought-provoking piece!!
