It glided into the bay

The locals gawped

They said they had never seen one so large.

‘It must have cost a million dollars’

It was like a naval boat.

Not gray but white as a gull floating with a huge white egg on high.

Why was it here in such a simple place?

We will soon find out. A dingy is purring our way.

I go down to welcome them. A tall well fed guy from South Africa he says. And a little lady from Thailand

He has an urgent need. He has run out of cigarettes!

I cannot help and I watch him approach locals along the beach for what he and they do not have.
