b88 (3.9-1.2020): empty beach

empty beach ^[1]             
by anna miss
 
no chair-tags and no towels
no chair-wars-dance at six
(if i did not know better, i’d say something was amiss)
no sports to try, nothing to buy, no students left to teach
no human interaction, just an eerie
empty beach
 ______________________________
 
·       it was surreal out there, with no one jousting for territory, and no one waiting in line for coffee.  with no one experiencing an early morning beach-walk, and no excursion boats approaching, it seemed as though even the waves were isolated.

·       there was rumor that aruba had experienced its first (official) case of covid, today.  in any event, the usually bustling beach-vibe is eerily non-existent.  

this could be serious.
