in the sun

It's April
4/1/11 10:36 AM,

It's what the parking ticket says,
the officer even gave me his autograph.

I'm still with Rachel
but right now she's in the shower.

we went to the beach
and bought some Thai food from a
restaurant on El Cajon and 50th

two sandwiches,
one pork
one chicken

I guess what's really
on my mind is how good the sun
felt on my skin as we walked together
on the shore,
I've almost forgotten how good it felt 
to feel this happy

so if this is a bad poem for you,
please understand
that I want to briefly
capture this moment in the sun
before tomorrow,
before the sun sets and
cracks like an egg-yolk
and the sky goes
south
into the earth.
