Red sand Beat poet Jack 
Sitting loner, listening sadly to the Big Sur sea. 
Pacific sky with sad white puffed clouds 
Reaching for the shore laugh whilst winding 
Round the azure of what was for one moment 
The perfectness of an April day. 
That old Devil of a sea, that Pacific Oceany 
Kerashes and that first drop of rain is no surprise 
Nor the turbulent thousand that shed disguises 
Dropping one by one, patter splatter. 
The ocean stretches, pulls at the sands of that bronzed beach. 
The rain is cold, dampens the soul, but who cares? 
The sea and sky sing in near perfect harmony 
And sad old Jack recalls the shout, the scream of Big Sur sea.
