Of Chairs and Seas The Pacific Ocean – east of Japan, mid-California – in the surf . . . an aluminum folding chair slant-cocked left, seat submerging with every wave, looks across the sea as if anticipating – empty. Doll, last weekend’s toy ebbs and recedes, settles, rocking back and forth with the waves . . . - in the surf, an aluminum folding chair slant-cocked left – empty no more. ©wesley james beard, jr. october 2007 |
