The Boat

This boat hasn’t moved for weeks, it’s stayed in the exact same place, catching my peripheral ever so slightly. No one stops on the bridge to see it, no one takes a second glance. It’s a boat.

I don’t blame them, It’s not changing the world. It’s not fighting for justice. It’s not falling in love or having its heartbroken. It’s not making a family or choosing solitude. It’s not late for a meeting or starting a new job. It’s not stressed about who said what and why. It’s not feeling what it feels to feel. It’s a boat.

Yet, tucked away in its little corner, looked over and hidden, it’s experiencing more life in that little people-less cove than we ever could.
