No, all of my poems are not about the gulf of mexico. I've been working on making a connection between tears and the salt water. they taste the same don't they?

crying

The sea doesn’t make apologies
She's cooking dinner now staring out past the boats coming in
Past the sun melting in the gulf
With the fury of a god who
Likes to think that if he only makes her laugh
Every once in a while
She will continue to hide what
Ever it is that she sets free
At night
The piers come alive with the sloshing
Buckets pouring soapy salt water
Men telling stories rough like their skin
Their eyes betrayed by darkness
Missing how she moves
In her yellow dress
Setting herself sailing
Wading out far enough to let the wind
Catch her hand

Her eyes touching the dark
Pebbles meeting sea
And the water comes from all around
From inside

Did you know that the ratio of water to salt in the human body is exactly the same as the ocean's?  Also, the ocean is made up of 3% salt--exactly the same as the human body.  Think there's a connection?

Oh I know there is. I just get obsessed with trying to make connections between things and then try to turn melt them together as one thing. It's a bad habit. Can make a person loony.
