Bon Voyage

Few women love boats;
Know the comfort
Of bundling up in winter
And stomping out through the snow,
As breath salutes with short explosions
Like a frigate approaching a fort;
Feel the warmth
Of a stark garage,
Or the latent buoyancy
Of a 15 foot sloop
As she lifts her bow
To the trailer support
Like a thoroughbred in the gate;
Feel the ache
As the buyer
Runs his palm along her gel coat
Looking for imperfections;
Dread the handshake.

All men have, in one form or another, a mistress of their soul....

so too are some women owned by "certain material things...."

we all either dread the handshake...

or For Auction sign....

well done Bob....another keeper....

indeed. . . there's not a sadder feeling than to let go of something that you love. . . even when you know that it's the right thing to do. . .

excellent Bob. . .
