I see waves and candy-filled holidays I see beach ***** and florescent seafoam I see barely clad soccer moms playing in the surf with their children I see Humbert eyeing the teenage girls I see the beauty of an Asian sun I see bikini ties come undone I see predilection and his friend, ignorance I see the same social distancing by the color of one's skin I see newfound paranoia I see the old pleasure and pain I see a broken whole in a mere afternoon walk on the shore Welcome to the empirical sand What you see is what you get

BLT's continued challenge- to write a poem using the Merriam- Webster word of the day, empirical.
