musings, musings, over the open ocean do they go, across the crowded seas, titanics sinking, snipers rifling, apt-get upgrading, and all the world's a stage, a new stage, old plays, shakespeare theater on a pier, not in the hood, elizabethan poetry on pilings, above cold lake michigan, and movies, lots of movies, take me away, calgone, entertained, laughed out loud, understood too much and too little, caught in the between, red handed, pink handed, blue handed from chemical toilets, scar tissue, scars, branding, marks of ownership, of the fear, conquered, and laid to waste, and others near and far, and so it goes, remember that, remember yesterday, couples walk hand in hand, near to me, close to me, men, women, together, happy, chilly autumn nights, it's more fall than that, horses and buggys, romantic nights down michigan avenue, friends and lovers go shopping for christmas gifts around the corner, holding hands, heads cradled in necks, shoulders to lean on, to grasp and cuddle, nuzzled spaces, nooks and crannies
