suspended
we dipped our feet in the atlantic water and climbed
up on the rocks until the tide rose
our shoes almost got swept away
the fisherman sitting next to us
on the pier
struggled with a 30 pound bluefish
he pulled him up onto the rocks when
the line snapped
and he leaped back into the water
we danced to the blues in the bar
and i explained to him what
"hole in the wall"
means
he didn't know how to dance
nor did i so we kissed,
embarrassingly enough in front of the bar of people
i didn't care
in my sunny room
wide, open windows let in the summer air
we are listening to music and letting the day drift us to sleep
i smile and i remember the feeling i got when you turned to me
and said "i'm happy"
and then turned back to watch the singer
sing his blues
why did i waste time being unhappy?
i see now that everything is at my fingertips
i sense the size of the world
and its not too big for me
