FERRY LINES

7/20/2021

0 Comments

 
​I love being in a crowd of coiffed and powdered ladies
the scents of laces and places
Murmurings and quiet laughter
Rosewater and memories
Not many locals on this ferry to San Francisco
We travel quietly, smugly
Amid the hushed excitement of no-hurry honeymooners
So delighted to be here
Me, too.
When our tourist guests head back to their Mobile Home Estates and Golf Link Tracts with pictures, T-shirts, bread loaves and chocolate, I'll still be here
living inside your postcards
