Head in the Clouds

The gentle waves lap and splash

Against the brown sand 

My bare feet, unvarnished nails

White skin, unused to the sun

I always forget.

Once, on the back of a scooter

Short top, short shorts 

No sunscreen, in Cuba

I realized

I had ten minutes

Before I was burned 

To a crisp

I always forget

I may only have ten minutes

Left in this life 

I have such dreams

That lead me off and away

Head in the clouds

In tomorrow

Be here, I whisper

Enjoy these things

These people

This life

Observation Deck. It was raining, so this is all we saw... :(

No lineups

No one at the Empire State Building but the paparazzi
