Journey hexsonnetta

Let's sail across the sea
to continents unknown
completely on our own,
just skies and waves and we.
Or do you disagree?
You nod and watch your phone.

I feel a bit unheard,
but you look up and smile.
You hesitate a while,
then give your final word:
my plan is quite absurd
and I am infantile.

To you a place is fine
if there's a TikTok line.

hahaha. this describes ME talking to MY husband. He is always doing tik tok. It's such a weird hobby for a 70 year old man, but he is disabled and he just lies around doing Tik Tok or watching the western channel. Thanks so much for showcasing my form. A FAVE for this!
