Competition--he's not in it for the trophy
But now he is gone

THE BEACH
The sand on your toes
The water shimmers like diamonds
The wind is a tiny breath

Grandpa's hands shining that Farmall
Red body preparing and shining for weeks
He's in it for the time spent with his grandson
He takes me to dinner
He takes me for a ride
He teaches me
Now I must polish
I must prepare
Now I must pass it on.

They feel like tiny massagers
Filled with heat
Waiting to be shattered
Waiting
To jump in the deep blue
