Poem: Aspirations

Aspirations

I want to live where
the coconuts grow
with a floral shirt
that will never close
wear shoes when I must
put limes in my drinks
listen to seaguls
while I stare and think
about crashing waves
and what lies beyond
while resting in the
shade of the palm fronds
yes I want to live
where the coconuts grow…
How much does it cost?
For real? Oh, hell no!
