sitting on the beach in tel aviv, i don’t know if i’m north or south. it’s after four, and i’ve oh-dee’d (indeed) on sunscreen. still i’m secretly hoping to catch a tan. the beach chairman lets us have four for the price of three. it’s amazing how far a well designed bikini top will get you. we brought cold beer but we didn’t bring a bottle opener. we eat cold watermelon. smoke too many cigarettes. a. looks at the sky. he knows the cmyk values for every shade of blue. i’m learning to love the sand on my skin and maybe the sun isn’t my enemy after all. i recognize the planes crossing the shoreline, 2 minutes to landing. for the moment i’m glad to be down here.
