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.

YOU CAN’T HAVE EVERYTHING
