Billionaire’s Beach lyrics
by MARINA
Master of theater
It has performed
For millennia
Never missed a scene
No entrance fee
Required
Not even on
Billionaire’s
Beach.
A crack of explosion
Is deftly performed
When two waves meet,
Crash hard, locking
Horns, like an
Ancient gunshot
And then it passes
So nonchalant
It rescinds, advances
Prehistoric and new
Violent and calm
All at the same time
It reminds me that
It fights against itself,
Like humans do.
Tiny joys, archaic
Tragediеs, oil slick woes
Climate change maladiеs
The ocean doesn’t care
Because it knows it
Will be there
Forever.
Until it splits into
A trillion tears
Cried from the
Cornea of God,
Propelled back
Into time
The ocean laughs
At sea sc*m. It is
A billion times
More powerful
Than Tesla and
Silicon Valley
More powerful
Than oil spills
Plastic bags
And sewer filth
From Venice.
Fuzzy fizzy
White, glossy
Foamy frothy
Sparkling surf,
Where fish flirt
Across the stage
Of another wave
And I stay
On the sand
So far away
Half enraptured
Half in love
Half in awe
And so afraid
