Taken today at Coronado
Famous for that movie
With Marilyn Monroe
Same beach
Different characters
There is always a sand castle
Built fresh everyday
But that blue is pacific
Ocean looking westward
The Cabrillo monument
Is the land mass
With the corridor
Leading into the bay
Where all the navy ships
Are safely tucked away
Here on the surf
All at the mercy
Of the nature at work
But if one looks
Closely forgive me
For not having a mega
On my phone
Are men running around
They were training
On the beach
Where several movies
Have been made
And Polo was played
By former King Windsor
And Clark Gable
Are military men
Working out in the sand
And carrying boats
Into the surf
And then attempting to row
Against the tide
While a military ship
Sits off to the west
What are they doing?
Gettig ready for a war
On our own surf and turf?
Or planning an emergency landing
Somewhere else?
Princesses
All of them
Who else would
Get selected to be
Photographed
And gawked at
By the most expensive
Clients on the strip?
Except for an old navy
Family member
Who has seen it all
Or thought she had
Until today
One of those long days
When all I want is my life
Back where I don't have
To threaten to kill
Those squatters
Down there on the
French Jardin
Or wonder why
The boys no longer
Call home
Where all those
Needle marks came from
And why this new doctor
Is yelling at me
That I am a Diabetic
When in fact
I already proved
It was not my blood work
It got mixed up
With someone
Whose birthday
Is Oct 28 68
Hmm,
Oh that's right
Julia Roberts
Who is sugary sweet
People always tell me
That I am too sweet
No it is more like
A seething feline
Just waiting to strike
Anyways this little
Princess apparently
Goes to the same lab
As I do and got
Her dates mixed up
I do hope she is not getting
A prescription
For a thyroid disease
Someday the doctor
Is going to tell me
I have a heart condition
Anyways I did not get
My walk on the beach
And it was an anniversary
Did you know
There was a little boy
Born on this day?
His mother might
Even have dressed him
As a girl in order
To disguise him
And keep him from
Being discovered
And killed.
His name was Jesus
And mine is Jehovah
Really!
Everyone knows
That Christ died
On Nisan 14
And was raised 3 days later
On the 18th
He was supposed to be
According to almost
All traditions
33 1/2 years old
Six months backwards
Brings us to the later
Part of October
Which is also the same
Date as the deluge
Late October
Of course everyone
Uses a modern calendar
October 31
For Halloween
When the demons
And the spirits
Come out to mourn
Their dead
As well as Christmas
Being set in December
Instead to accommodate
The modern Romans
Designs on keeping
The people in order
The end of harvest
Meant celebrations
And we did just have
A Jewish holiday
Where upon their
Neighbors brought
Upon them carnage
Well, we will never know
Will we the exact
Day and hour?
All speculation
To some but not to others
Anyone else have a special
Connection to this date?
I have an anniversary
Only I know about
And celebrate
By communing with the ocean
Need some roses, anyone?
