sand scrubbers

Dirty lint, floating in the water
Empty foil, half buried in the sand
Bent straw, lying in the grass
Crushed coke can, just short of the trash

Look at all the people
Watching from their chairs

Angry gulls are swooping,
Knocking out the garbage
Picking up the cigarettes and
Throwing out the boxes

Look at all the people
Watching from their chairs

Where is the lifeguard?
Nobody, patrolling the beach
There you are, on your own
Scrubbing the dirty sand

Look at all the people
Watching from their chairs
