*PLACE BY THE SEA*

He kept a piece of algae behind his ear to remind him of his roots.

A million years ago every place was a little place by the sea,

He would say

And my mind would go blank

And I would swim through the day

Without a care in the world

And it all seemed so familiar that I knew

I would go back someday to my own little place by the sea

*CLOSET ANGEL*

There are angels everywhere you can imagine.

I saw one hiding in the closet in my bedroom once

I invited her out, but she said she was waiting for a friend

Thank you just the same

The next time I looked she was gone.
