William Bain


Beach town

Reflections in an oval glass vase double the pencils on the counter behind
the woman flipping burgers on the caked and smoking grill.
Down the beach some near the water’s edge—two blue umbrellas.
Up some—a larger dome, orange & white. Laughing children in and out of all of this.
5’s a dog with extra mustard. Easy on the fries.
Didn’t want this, it was all a mistake.
Just cancel—there’s a train every twenty minutes.
