This poem concludes my series of poems about the boring woman on the beach. There's Andromeda There's Scorpio There's Pisces There's The big dipper Okay okay I say I know But the captain is so enthusiastic about space and astronomy and science. I love listening to what he has to say as we voyage into the midnight waters, the monotonous beauty by my side. It's time for confessions I am befriending her I brought her aboard for slowly and surely the same reason any man with her sadness would have brought such melting - not that a beauty on this ship it was ever there in the first place. ennui is the first step to becoming creative, the world is meaningless, she says, creativity is manifestation of the nonexistent the universe without concern or love upon the plain of human experience I hold her in my arms, my Sophia, and laugh. The world is without meaning, I say and she sighs, smiles, and replies who cares? Life's short. Think hard! |

I'm not very good at commenting, but wanted you to know I've been reading your work here and in Prose and find it intriguing. Also, your formatting is brilliant, a necessary element that adds so much to the work. |
