So, you look at those captains and then at yourself
and you wonder: “Why them, and not me?”
As you paddle along in your pitiful state,
a canoe you hope no one will see.
But there’s just enough room for those trusted to you
for safe passage, provisions, and tare.
So, you keep to yourself, and you follow the shore,
making passage for those in your care.

An Asian Slice
At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night,
A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap.  Someone might think he’s sleeping.  He’s smoking heroin.  Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn.

Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, 
hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad.  Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy.  Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.

An indoor scene in at home.  A Mom and Dad sit on the bed with their little girl, who is smiling.  The mood is warm and secure.  The little girl is about 10 years old.  She's contented.  Dad is about to tell a story.
An outdoor scene in at the beach.  A White Mom and African-American Dad walk away from the camera with their two kids, all holding hands.  The mood is warm and safe.  The sun is setting in the distance.  Everyone is wearing beach-style clothes, not bathing suits.  It's a pretty happy family.
