Land Breeze

eight o'clock --

Ms. Jenny, the physics teacher once said that in the day, the sea stores heat in its folds as it collects the sun in handfuls (the sea has bigger palms than us and in them, more lines that cross) to keep it warm at night. one day, she said, a young man is going to hold your hand, bring you to the beach and whisper, i brought you here for the sea breeze. but then you will reply that after the sun lowers itself below the sea, the sea must keep itself warm while the land learns to cools off, creating a convection current of air from the land to the sea to fill a void, causing a role reversal; a land breeze.

and you will have taught him something.

--is the perfect time for a stroll.
