what city was
 lost
    gone beneath
the sand
  what city
overrun by trees
and grass and neglect
   abandoned
  what city
shelled
 destroyed
 left
   the ground
gave way
 oceans rushed
in
   monuments
 at the bottom
of the sea
   stared out
 at fish
 and sand
    we
 built our castles
    with our plastic
shovels
and buckets
   brightly
 colored
 yellow
     red
blue
  get in the car
shake out the sand
   let's go home
everyone got their mitt?
