Gone Fishin’
So, you see, there’s always hope.
A sudden realization came upon him that life was real and life was earnest.
The world ceased to swim and flicker.
He was quite willing to stay on here indefinitely.
Her silence had puzzled him.
Time passed.
It was a perfect day, cloudless and still. There was peace in the air.
The situation had the appearance of being at a deadlock.
Now everybody pay close attention.
I know my heart was strangely heavy as I turned away.
It will take a long, long time to get there.
I have something to tell you.
We paused awhile to regain our breath.
I only wanted to know, you know.
You seem to know all about it.
Then the time ran out.
We will not be judged.
You are going to be fine.
I guess he’s a little shy.
You get used to it.
Don’t look at me.
Her eyes, opaquely glinting in the moonlight.
Where are you coming from?
Fine, he said. Ain’t going to chase you all day.
Everything disappeared.
It doesn’t matter.
What are we to make of it?
So weirdly beautiful.
What is the best choice?
See you tomorrow.
We all make certain compromises, of course.
