Dreaming

e see boats. We talk about boats. We think of buying a boat. We envision the sun setting while we’re on the boat. We have no money to buy a boat. We discuss our plans for the weekend, and it’s not sailing a boat. We see students partying on rented boats. We talk about renting a boat. We will never rent a boat. We are dizzy, car-sick people who think that sailing a boat will make us carpe diem, when in fact it makes us sink.
