my brunette friend

icicles form at the tips
of my brown split ends
i wonder does the world
go on forever?

I gaze with hope
to see a driver-
any ride
to any place
in my boot leg
frayed gray
corduroys

my sandy hair is tousled
with sea water and sun
i hope my world
is always this way

I rest easily
on my ocean raft
happy to stay
afloat
in my new
Lycra, yellow
bikini
