The Beach.

We went to the beach -- took a walk, down to our favorite rock. Nice to know it's still there -- everything else moves, the air, the birds, the sand and the waves, but the rock never moves ---- except how did it get there? A big round rock in the middle of the beach -- it must have rolled off the cliff and come crashing down -- but when?

Rock doesn't say much, we tap it and stroke it, all smooth and round on one side, all jagged on the other side like a giant dinosaur egg broke in two
