Mardrax Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 He sat there rowing his imaginary boat all the way across the Channel or a mile or two anyway A little blonde boy bracers, spectacles and all Sweat gleaming on his face Peering at the screen ahead Counting his time -or was it counted for him? "Just 15", he told me "Almost through highschool" "So what'cha doin' here?" "Beats lying in bed all day" He grimaced for half a second as his oars pushed back the thousandth time He sat there, exercising smiling, not a care in the world Rowing with a sarcoma not an eighth of an inch from good old C3 A cord more fragile than silver -more vital- shrugged away by one a decade my junior Relaxing the pull, he stood wiped his forehead with a towel and walked away. "So see ya later!" I hope so Kid, I hope so ------------------------- And another day of seeing applied relativism. Respect. Nothing but deep, deep respect. Feedback as always welcomed. And yeah, I don't show my face around here quite enough anymore (to my liking anyway ) PS, could someone please fix the missing H in the title? [Fixed]
