because
we think that we want them,
need them.
they will
complete our
lives, or what we imagine
our lives to be.
we buy a stupid boat.
we buy
a captain's hat,
a shirt with
parrots on it.
three weeks
later,
we're looking at it,
swaying
against the pylons,
the rust,
the algae,
the mold, the gas
prices,
no one wants to sail
all day
to smith island,
for an oyster
anymore.
