fishing boat

i used to think i needed
bright lights, big city
sirens through the night
and subway rolling
but
i don’t think i do.
what i need is to be
with you on a fishing boat
drinking whatever is in the
grime covered cooler and your
sunscreen kisses
laughing as yet another one
gets away despite our protests
and it’s okay if we go home with nothing
because we already have what we need.
