Mostly
Have you ever thought of the trust
required to board a boat?
Once on it, the captain could take us
basically anywhere. Far enough
out to knock us over the side,
get away without ever being seen.
Because mostly we're alone.
There is a comfort in being
above something. Above the unknown
depths of the ocean. Above
the poverty line.
A comfort and a fear of what's down there.
Because mostly we're alone.
