Two Boats

Let's go to the beach, so the other boys can see what they are missing.

Let's take a drive.

Ok.


We sit on the hood in the early morning light and talk about where to go.

Let's just go North until the F turns into an E...

Ok.


We kiss until the highway beckons us to join it.

I brought a boombox so we can listen to some music, I know your stereo is busted.

What do you want to listen to?

Yo La Tengo sounds good right now.

You are obsessed with them.

Is that bad?

No, it's endearing.


You know what's endearing about you?

What?

Everything?


The road winds and the conversation ebbs and flows like the water in the ocean we are circling.

Let's buy a boat.

Ok.

What will be name it?

Let's name it after my Grandma.

What about my Grandma?

Ok. Let's buy two boats.

A motorboat?

And a sailboat too.
