Setember 3, 1978 - Journal - Poem

A seaside resort with Alice

A dream 1978
A seaside resort with Alice
Cape Cod
The cottage a wreck__
Uncle Jack visits with kids
All of them six years-old
He complains,
"This place is a mess."___
His beach house on the Cape
So big

Still
Sand across the wood floors
Aunt Gloria never cleaned anyplace___
Later on the beach

I rescue a child from drowning
I drag him onto a pier
I lose my balance
Fall into the water
Ropes entangle my limbs
House Near Wellfleet, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 1939 Artist: Wright Morris
