NPM 17: On Sandy Beach

sand through my fingers

sand through my fingers by Phototrope, on Flickr

En route
Somewhere between
Krypton
and Earth.

Our little Kal-El stopped.
and landed.

All by his little lonesome.
playing
with a bucket and a spoon,
on sandy beach.

Oblivious to the
challenge
and
responsibility,
that adultness would one day bring.
