Milk or Cookies not Both
The young couple spread a blanket
on the still-warm sand. They opened
a basket filled with their favorites:
milk, honey, grapes, and chocolate.
As the sun set into the South Pacific,
they embraced and held hands.
“Bondi Beach at sunset”
had been on the romantic list
their entire lives. They entwined arms
to sip milk and dip snickerdoodles.
Within moments, blue heelers, weapons
drawn, handcuffed the unmasked lovers.
