Strange but True Fact:

If a sailboat is named Abstract
its dinghy would likely be named Thought.

Mind Sailing

The Island of Nubble Light held
my mind on a winter day. I
wondered why, as I beheld
a snow-white wave. Under the sky,

far out on the horizon, was
a sailboat, maybe, was it tacked,
or not. I put my mind on pause.
I let it draw in the abstract.
