Stretched out warm on the lawn
That verdant carpet velvety smooth and soft,
Golden sunlight streaming down
Like butter dripping in glistening droplets off an ear of corn-on-the-cob.
A breeze, sharp with sea salt,
Slices through my leafy sunshade,
And little green paratroopers, whirling,
Rain down on me.
