Where Was My Camera!?

At this crucial time:

6:30am, sunrise.. have been a little obsessed with it, lately.
Orange streaks on the water, glassy green and spotted geometric, from the drizzle. Sunny and it's raining, yes. Young seagulls with their brown spots, still stand next to me, don't fly away..
This is my time. No night crawler me, I had you fooled. I'm a creature of the dawn. The brightness that shatters, exposes the filth that accumulates when it's dark. And thus, is often mistaken for the dark..
But this is not about me
no

This is about the old people:
Men in their Hawaiian shirts and bermuda shorts. Ladies in their floral mumus.
Standing in a circle on the sand, each old person rubs the slumped but happy shoulders of the one in front of them.
A circle of back-massaging old people. Laughing so fucking hard.
I can't wait till I'm old.
Till my tits fall and my thighs expand and I know I'll look well, old no matter what I do so I quit trying to wrap myself in a little cupcake package and face each day armed only with my smile and my eyes, my wisdom and the peace that comes with knowing I'm FINALLY on my way out..

A circle of back-massaging old people. On the beach. Fucking hilarious.
Where was my camera?
