South Florida

The land innocent
    the water clear
The tourists sour
    pickled in beer
The mangroves tenacious
    the lizards prevalent
The fish fried
    the sun-bathers pestilent

Iguanas, gators, jellyfish
sunsets, palm fronds, razorgrass
bellies, bikinis, melanoma
this will all be swallowed, like Jonah
