the small boat

your boat is too small
for everyone to get on board.
so you have to make
choices.
who's fun, who's silly,
who's smart and kind.
who doesn't rattle when
the wind blows
and the water rises
to the edge.
it's a small boat,
and only a short trip
from here to the shore,
but you have to choose carefully
these friends, who climbs
on board to sail
with you.
