1:30 P.M. after hiking six miles of uncivilized beach
Hiking while on vacation
with mild desperation
and dry mouth frustration
towards my next destination
back to civilization
scrounging coins of my nation
I secure some libation
carbonated salvation
spreading liquefaction
to my heated prostration
bringing thirst dispensation
as I find relaxation
in this frosty sensation
with not one trepidation
chug-a-lugging elation
mingled with perspiration
then I watch condensation
forming accumulations
on this cold can I'm tasting
not one drop am I wasting
for this huge thirst I'm chasing
cross a sun of a beach
with the temperatures blazing.
