If they tell you
(them that’s done it)
     before a job or a challenge
     or contemplating an unsuitable lover
it’s a walk on the beach
     turn around and take
     the uphill trek
     the stony path
     the vale of tears
     instead

The only one what’s told the truth
that old Lancaster guy
     had it’s clear
     actually done it
(Kerr, the beach, the movie) 
    immured by silken powder
    reason he knew to call it
    From Here to Eternity

Cape to Cape Walk; Day 7
