Boat

Definition:

     A vessel for transport by water, constructed to provide buoyancy by  
     excluding water and shaped to give stability and permit propulsion.


Here’s where I’m actually. I’m on a cruise ship in Norway, floating down through the fjords. The boat is rocking so slightly, but the good kind of rocking and not the bad where you’re curled around the toilet with watery eyes. Here I’m lying on a deck chair. There’s a nice breeze coming through and the cliffs are green like crumpled dollar bills that you shove at the bartender and ask for another, just one more and I’m done for the night. This is it, I’m lying in the shade because my skin burns too easily, and there’s salt water in the air and my head doesn’t hurt anymore, and the world is gently rocking, rocking, going back and forth, and my eyes are blurry from the water in the air. The rocking, it’s only the boat going back and forth, and my eyes are wet because of the water in the air. It’s the salt water in the air.
