#167 the art of handling the aggressive talker

standing on the wharf
seaweed and saltwater
demand olfactory attention

then i see the boat
heavier than anything
i could ever budge an inch

hull aiming 12 o'clock
for the now fragile wooden dock
collision course

a wave from the steering wheel
suggests i save the disaster
and i do

not with strength
not much at least
but by deflecting the dory's momentum

and the boat
now parallel
kisses the dock
