Let's Go Back

Would you come to Seaside with me, Sharon?
Come, and we will do our best to strip away
The residues of fear and care the years have
Brought. Two plates of eggs, hash browns
And bacon, motel coffees in those heavy motel
Mugs, will ready us to take the walkway to
The beach, where we could shrug away
The weather, walking on the sand,
Retracing those much lighter steps we took
Back when, when we were in our twenties,
And those fears and cares were luggage only
Older people bore. We can jettison our
Burdens and be, once more, who we were,
If we went back to Seaside, Sharon.
Don't you think we should?
