Whenever I have been on a boardwalk, USA, Australia, or Britain, I've often wondered what has 'slipped' through. Does it all physically collect 'beneath' or into an alternative reality?

Wonderful!
Lovely ku. Congratulations, Susan.
Very nice! Great line separation.
Thanks for the thumbs up, Pravat, Greg, and Mark. Glad you like this one.
The positive so well seen, Susan. Nifty!
… and that, that has fallen, can begin anew.

Thanks, Susan. This works on many levels.
And there it was in front of you the whole time…A haiku!
Nicely done
