a nursery for infant stars those
flying in tonight will never notice
with the salty air filling lungs too
long in air conditioned, dimly lit and
clinically depressed cubicles, making
enough money to pay for insurance
they would never need if they got
enough fresh air. They'll get it here,
and more, the island's vaccination
against drudgery and mediocrity
a memory to always cherish back at
home when the mercury drops and
the rain is too near to make the sky
pretty as a tropical drink
to sip by the sea.
