THREE KAYAKING MEMORIES
Actually four, counting my picture.


© V. J. Lucid, 2010
ONE
Kayak on roof-rack.
A strap goes 'snap'
My craft is aft.



TWO
The ocean is vast, I'm but a speck
who's lost in fog near Rocky Neck.

My first solo kayak trek,
and I've misplaced the Kennebec!

Yet, I don't fear another wreck.
Plastic Jesus is on the deck.

THREE
A following sea
bigger than me.
I'll surf a bit ...
a breach -- oh, shit!
Foam in my face,
forgot to brace.
Turning turtle ...
kersplash, glub,
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
gurgle!


NEVERMORE!
