Please Change the Sun

(that’s all)

I saw the ocean first

Off Fenwick Island

On a family vacation

We stayed in a house that had

Loud screen doors,

And at nights the ocean visited

Everywhere in our room

But after a year of Pacific sunsets,

Helios descending into water

I now think there’s a problem

With the Atlantic,

Maybe primally

A Freudian might say

It’s something womblike or umbilical

Anyway, I’d like to have my eastern ocean

Catch the sun at night

If you could arrange that

I would be grateful and obliged

One thing made better
