Dumb Dialogues

My friend, Sylvia from Seattle, is often out at the beach, and notices things many of us don't.

Makes you think, doesn't it ?

Drunk
on their
own
powerful thoughts,
they sit
virtually unspeaking,
on the appointed benches;
one ,
all tight
dry and clean,
the other,
immersed
in some
moving
sea-weedy sands.

The world goes on,
wave after wave,
frothing and mixing
raising a toast
to
the snowy mountains,
Cheers to Life !

And the
lone seagull,
swooping around
wonders
why
these two
belonging
to the thinking tribe
have nothing to say to each other.....
