from Rattle
Midas at the Beach
When Midas went to the beach
everyone in his kingdom was nervous.
They liked the foot shaped patches of golden sand,
scooped up like cattle patties,
and they were used to the nimble ruckus
of the entourage, staying somewhat close
but avoiding the bump. Their fear was for the sea,
for his first step, for the yellow muck hardening
