Ode to Sandy
She is the Sunshine’s first kiss every morning
This kiss is an event so grand
it does not lose its splendor
by occurring daily
since before time could be measured
for those fortunate enough to gaze on this public display of affection
It should come as no surprise
even the ocean
falls victim to envy
on occasion
she has been witnessing
the love of her life
sink passionately
into the skyline of New York every evening for over a century
they caress without discretion
and the city remains lit throughout the night
way after the Sunshine has retired
taunting the Ocean with her afterglow
Ocean known for her predictable ebb and flow
wanted to remind the world she invented passion and fury
so she grew arms
reached out and slapped the daylight out of that harlot
New York stayed dark for days
