Today at the beach
I saw a man walking a cloud on a leash. Sometimes it would drift over a
tree and water it. Sometimes it would glide over the man and like a fluffy
parasol protect him from the sun. Anytime it saw another cloud it would sail
over and greet it. Soon I realized that the cloud was walking the man and
he was holding on for the company and the occasional shade.
