Sandy Hook
	-----------

	New York skyline,
	flotsam garbage,
	naked bathers
	in October.

	Brooklynites
	with sunburned noses
	combing sand
	for missing baubles.

	Weathered bunkers,
	missing missiles,
	cold-war relics 
	in decay.

	Holly trees and
	browsed-on cacti.
	Styrofoam and
	cockle shells.
