A Tale Told By An Idiot April 18th, 2001 Copyright 2001 Doug Pretorius I awoke one morning, my face to the sea as I walked out the door, I could feel the breeze the salt assaulted every last part of me but that day I felt a new way to feel I looked far out, along the horizon crease and breathed in the seaweed, which made me sneeze I held in my hand a shell or a piece a remembered that day, whose hand I squeezed deep in my heart, that strange ache released fortunately for me it very soon ceased the morning was purple and misty, I was pleased and under my feet the wet sand wheezed footprints pointed to where I had been where was I going? well that was plain to see I'd promised a walk along the beach to my niece the only way out was to become deceased perhaps by some accident or exotic disease I laughed heartily and fell to my knees just then an insane man ran up and stabbed me to death |
