This breeze didn’t carry away my worries or my sadness triggered by sightseeing rocks, especially the one engraved “RIP” then I turned away un-immune to reminders of depression. I was startled by the honk of a horn, that man acting a little too off in his red shirt and jeans (had to get away), but what lovely scenery yet childish adults throwing sand not bearing their heads in it like a poet said earlier today. I’m wondering about the mothership, but I know I need to stop wondering about it and that lone sailboat at sea facing away from me.
