Hawaii

Hawaii

By Yearn Hong Choi

You need a swimsuit

and a surfboard

for a necessary condition of

happiness.

The sun turns your skin to copper,

and the waves turn your body to an acrobat.

Oh, the vast blue ocean is all yours.

The Hula dancers wave their hands and bodies

as the wind from the ocean dictates their bodies,

or the  wind dictates the palm trees and flowers

in the island.

You need a swimsuit

and a surfboard

for a sufficient condition of

happiness

in paradise on earth,

if your lover lives on that paradise.

The rainbows on the Waikiki Beach after a shower

mean the engagement of the young lovers

for their everlasting passionate love.
