An Obstacle Too Large To Mention

Relationship between a large man and a speck of sand

An Obstacle Too Large To Mention

Here I am again buried under by this grain of sand

At the beach oceans mock me. Waves laugh real tears

Pretty bikini girls wearing two strings saunter by

All smiles as they admire my bulky hunk muscles

As I hide my grief from them and open seas

The speck of sand won’t move an inch from me

I refuse to look. It occupies my tummy in defiance

In disguise, near the navel, with all its crushing weight

Holds my belly button hostage. Maybe it has needs

Money? Prestige? A beach? Power? Yes! Power!

If only a small slight breeze would happen by

Something on the order of a category five perhaps

Two hurricanes and a Tsunami might do

Particle removal is not as easy as it looks

An obstacle, an intruder of this magnitude

Must be kept quiet because people would talk

If only I had a gun, a sandwich or baloney

I could ask it to leave! But that would be silly

Sand can’t speak and a speck even less
