Impressionistic painting of a beach scene, angle viewed from laying flat on the sand with a friend who's flying a red kite that's mostly obscured. A figure in a striped bathing suit observes through large round sunglasses. The sky is vibrating and blue but cloudy.

...For twenty years, a tight knit group of us shared a falling-down beach shack in Bradley Beach every summer. This is one of those days. The kids ran into the water and handed us their kite — just hold this — and disappeared. We couldn't let it fall. We also couldn't be bothered to get up. So there we stayed. The sky was pink underneath all that blue. Nobody had to try very hard. Nobody had to stand up if they didn't want to.
