Boat People

I ran into you today
We chatted
You had a lazy smile
Weathered skin
Wrinkles around your eyes
A wind-blown look about you

Like you had spent
The whole day outside
And you confirmed
That assumption

Boating at the lake
All summer you said
And feeling slightly melancholy
Now that autumn is upon us

Smiling
I think to myself
Sounds like fun
Too bad I don’t like water
