It's Easier to Think

I am Mark Meneses, the Miami breed.
I hum music with my words, and my fingers follow soon after.
Sometimes I whisper; sometimes I become a news anchor.
Creation, appreciation, & apprehension.
Watch my footprint gain depth in the sand.

Everything I post on here is original unless otherwise noted or cited, including poetry, images, and videos. Opinions, however, are all mine mine mine.

A Certain State

In a certain state, somewhere south,
you can take a mug to the ocean
and scoop a glass-full of coffee
straight from the boiling beach.

In the same way, you can arrive
at an airport holding a handful of sand
and, after looking out a window, fly back home,
where the coffee is in the kitchen,
bitter, nothing a few teaspoons of sugar

can’t fix.

But in this state, water is boiled
by the spaces between enormous shrinking shadows
and it tastes just as bitter -
a blend of fish feces,
a sand castle destroyed by angry tourists,
and the sugar you brought from home.
