I want to take a picture but I'm feeling too lazy to get up
and walk back to Ivan's shack for my camera
the late arvo sun is shining on me
my hand and pen cast magical shadows across the page
the ocean is so loud it creates a soundtrack
for the muffled music playing from my headphones
which sit on the blanket on the ground beside me
Pepper is grazing amongst the shrubs in the sand dunes
off bobbing on the brink of the horizon is a dark speck
which occasionally lights up as it collides with sun and ocean
my brother and his mates are trying to bring home a trophy dhufish.
The sun still shines on me, the shadows continue to dance across the page as the swell from the outer reef drops off
and picks up again just off shore
Pepper just pressed her wet nose against my arm and I take another sip of beer as the ocean serenades Bob Dylan
