Lazy Afternoon

There is no space between the 
horizon and the ocean
Birds follow boats in a lazy 
circular motion 
It is a lazy hazy Saturday 
afternoon
Topped by a peeping 
premature quarter moon  

Idle fishermen sit and curse 
their fate
The striper run is getting 
precariously late
Boats chug back and forth in 
search of signs
Willing fish to hook up with 
trawling lines
