look future look

were we kids
on those beaches
were our eyes
that young
and the stones

did they
go into
or float on top of
those surfaces

nine, eleven circles undulating

did they dissolve
in
or outside
of what our eyes could see
and

was there anything out there
that could tell us
how far
we had come
and

what it was

that would come after
the oil was gone
from the waters
what

would come after
the kids were gone
from the beaches
