The sea played with the man on the beach
as he walked along the sand
blue turning to sky blue then white
to catch the sun worshipper and give him a fright
But after a while the man came up to the sea
in an attempt to dip his toes
he put his feet into the blue
and in an instant froze
for while on the sand, the air was warm
the water instead, was not
it was like a bowl of ice cubes
and he was rooted to the spot
the hermit crabs signalled to the oncoming sea
about the beachcombers feet
and then in an instant
the sea beat a retreat
