Seashore Anomalies
Motel by the ocean
Affords white noise of another kind
When the next room makes you think
You heard a loud TV
Broadcasting late night horror
You don your shorts
Walk out barefoot
Only to find the ocean
Is having a nightmare
Weary of so many busy lifetimes
Pretending to rush off somewhere
And never getting anywhere
You return to bed mumbling
Nature imitating man
As you fold into your own nocturnal escape
My younger brothers once spent their spring break on Mustang Island. Mustang Island is an outer island protecting Corpus Christi between Aransas and South Padre Island. The reason the island is named that way, is because of wild horses that lived there when beachgoers first came. I believe there are still horses there at the Mustang State Park.
