Flip. Flop!

(a 5-minute quickwrite from summertime 2009)

Flip.  Flop.  Freedom.

Sweet release from a winter’s worth of smelly closet.

Ahh.

Shuffle shuffle shuffle – sunshine. 

Hot pavement.  Splintery boardwalk.  Sand.

Abandoned, as the feet fly into the water, oh so blue.

Flip.  Flop.  Fish!

Priceless protection for pattering pads

$3 thongs – can shove into a bag

travel the world and the neighborhood

flippin’ and floppin’ – man, life is good.

Kicked off at the hammock, the beach, and inside.

Let those feet breathe, dance, slip and slide!
