S O S

have you ever noticed that strangers passing on a dock always nod and say hello to others passing by but strolling neighbours on a sidewalk you thought you knew almost never do looking away at the last moment is something a seafarer simply would never do have you ever witnessed passengers on a vessel no matter be it big or small wave to everyone passing by or shout greetings to one and all but travellers on trains and planes certainly almost never do to even glance at a passerby is something a jetsetter simply would never do have you ever pondered those who venture out on the ocean blue treat strangers differently than me or you for when an angry sea is about the trusted friends that promise to arrive almost never do but to turn their back on an SOS is something people of the sea simply would never do
