I Will name the moon Dolly
I woke up inside a capsized boat.
What if I get cut on a coral reef?
What if I get stranded for four years like Tom Hanks?
What will I do for food, water, shelter, warmth?
Could I live without any company?
I stared at the moon.
At least I have her, I will name her Dolly.
We will have conversations.
I could write them down and become famous.
I hope I get stranded for at least two weeks I thought.
I could use the break from work.
“Ahoy!” someone called from a new boat. “Need help?”
