THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND By Beth Haist

Sitting at the table smoking French cigarettes
Debating the efficacy of white chocolate
‘Tasteless facsimile ‘
Tenzin on her Harley- no less
A Buddhist nun
with a thousand lifetimes in one
All of you seem in rarefied air, today
Alpha Romeos
and Mercedes Benz–
Until the gladiators with earth movers push thru
Replanting gladiolas–a leveling of sorts
With the beat up Suburbu Forrester
Easily bringing a grin
And a Volkswagon campervan!!
Filled to the brim
We all are piling in
Enough surfboards AND gin?
Ride the waves
Ladies and Gents
Ride the waves
