Driving in my silver car
along the silver highway
to this silver building,

where I sit at a silver desk,
staring at the silver screen,
dreaming of green and white waves
tumbling along the beach,

you and I stretched out on the sands,
our bodies naked, wet, and warm,

both of us glistening gold and bronze
under the sun in a blue sky that is
hovering above us.
