A crowded beach in August
sun baked bodies like sardines
my oldest friend and I
another crowded northern beach
sun and clouded shrimps roasted
as teenagers
today she still loves being cooked
whereas I have become cautious
as older girls.
Today was as if we were on
one of our European trips
in our early twenties.
Looking for the tan and water
we chatted not so much about
topic of our youth: men.
But hubbies, kids, grand kids
filled our conversations. Yet;
As sexagenarians, we can still look!
