meaning

There's a fountain I visit in another state, and I stand and watch the bubbly water globules falling like little worlds back into the water below. I think you can see this at nearly any fountain, but these liquid blobs are ponderous, the size of your two fists together. Anyway, for me it is a metaphor for meaning in life.

hang in the air like balloons
then dash into foam

marsh

The local coffee shop overlooks a salt marsh. There is always something to watch through the wide windows.

boredom

It’s hard to imagine a more body- and mind-numbing job than commercial fishing in any era. Dirty, joyless, and dangerous work.

fishermen stumble
endlessly haul slimy nets -
listless fish ripple
