Perception

The things that happen to people we never really know. What happens in houses behind closed doors, what secrets?
- Harper Lee


If, for them, the boat lurched
and was tossed high and thrown about
and they feared they would be cast overboard,
then, for them, that was true,
though, from our point of view,
no visible storm raged
and the sky was blue
and when they glided by
all we could see was a calm passage
and an enviable relationship.


O' Sailor
