Sonnet1 for the Misbegotten
Jill Bialosky
 
 
The surfers are on deck in black diving 
 penguin suits, fins2 on their feet -- surfer school 
 for the youth of the rich set -- determined 
 to catch a wave while somewhere less pristine, 
 another suffers from inner unrest. 
 Look, the anorexics are frantically3 
 speed-walking the beach pumping three-pound weights, 
 ignoring the scenic4 ocean view. 
 At last evening's barbecue we discussed 
 our boys: dyslexic, attention deficient, 
 prone to depression. How will we get through? 
 A sandpiper, regal in white and gray, 
 pecking frantically in the sand observes me, 
 creature from another world, on my deck chair.
