“Drunk at the Beach” [by Ivana Kilibarda]

Drunk at the Beach

One minute you’re sipping
a lite beer in the
shallow end.

The next minute your

face is smashed by killer

waves on Far Rockaway.

The kind of waves that
take

bikini tops off

killer blondes.

Beg the waves to let you
live.

It would be sad

to see you smashed.

— Ivana Killibarda
