LJ Idol Week 7: Bupkis
Dec. 8th, 2011 02:44 pmThe ocean rolls us gently as we lie in bed, listening to the sound of waves lapping up against the side of the ship. It is peaceful, calming, like being rocked to sleep.
Days blend into each other easily; the ports are all alike, trinkets for outrageous prices that we buy anyway, women offering to braid our hair, men keeping up an endless patter about their wares.
Eventually, we'll have to come back to the rat race. But for today, we'll let the ocean push us gracefully along to our destinations, nothing on our mind but the feel of the sun on our skin.

Date: 2011-12-12 05:18 am (UTC)(Out of curiosity, was your cruise director on really good drugs? Ours had to have been. No normal person has that much energy all the time, every day. Our other theory was that the ship pumped Red Bull-infused oxygen into his cabin.)
