cherish your bliss
like the kiss of tide
the snappers ride
in a trick of light
brightening shoals
for prismatic eyes
carbon capturing creatures
that measure the pounds
of their feet on stone
hunkered down alone
in resistance to the tug
of the breaker’s tongue
that licks the foam
between coated pilings
as i dance wiley
under a fading sun’s grin
tomfoolery and shenanigans
plowing the surf of seriousness
take my hand and search your soul
stroll the stubbled sand
where quartz is honed
and i soak you in
a slow sensuous sinking
through my porous skin

I wonder how many people know what a Secchi Disk is and how it is used.

I used it for a while with my marine bio. and biology students. I am not sure if people know. It’s a great way to imply the need for clarity. Thank you, Jim.
