Challenge
Where are you docked?
Watch others fight their way to me
Across the lake,
A storm brews and swirls
Wildly, a breeze becoming
A monstrous force
To slam a dock
Against the wave-break.
The concrete tiles
Shatter and splinter like glass
And the tin roof,
No longer hot from the sun,
Warps and melts anyway.
The rustless chains that
Once held it to the lakebed
Now stretch and pull and
Finally give,
And the hoists and lifts
Cannot hold any longer.
Across the lake, there is apocalypse
And I am docked here
In raccoon cove,
Where the golf balls hit sand
And the grilling is free
And the boat babes are my
Best friends.
Across the lake
There is always apocalypse.
So,
I will dock here and
Watch the show.
