Take the Money and Run

Breeze 
blowing
curtains fly
water-scented
air.

Trail
man-made
escape route
never get caught...
boat.

A boat with a fast engine! I like the word play George, a great story with so few words; no wonder it was a winner!

An interesting take on that picture, George. I did not even know this, but Kash told me it was the window of a TRAIN. Did you see it that way?

Ah, I like your interpretation of the photo very much, George, especially the thought of the dustry trail being an escape route. Everyone in a flood zone should have a canoe or rowboat. Clever and inventive! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
