It’s hard work
to be a girl called Sailor
with an almost famous daddy
in Larose, Louisiana.
This beach is Grand Isle.
We used to come here
when we were kids
way before the Spill.
Now it’s pretty much deserted.
Bobby won’t let Sailor in the water.
“Don’t know what’s in there,” he says.
He still doesn’t believe it’s safe.
Despite what B.P. says.
Sailor cries when she can’t go in the water.
“I should just let her go,” Bobby says.
“Just one time probably won’t hurt.”
But he remains cautious.
He offers to bury her in the sand instead.
