Hay nada
The man holding his net
nodded to his Doppelganger
across el rio.
Seashells and sand-dollars
tinkle on the shore
like pesos in the pockets
of both these men.
The little mouthed
http://s239932935.onlinehome.us/index.php/bocachica-waters.html,
muddy waters meeting Gulf Stream
where pelicans post like Lady Liberty
on sand dunes
welcoming poor destitute waves,
yearning to break free.
The fish swim
irregardless of invisible lines
heeding only land’s end
and ocean’s beginning
and beginning…
Hay nada
and they both toss nets
once more,
pursuing things
they cannot see.
