escape by Indigo Tempestahe will sail across the water where a thousand tires have driven unquestioning. does he seem more or less in touch if he notes the black stain in the snow furrows, fallow and effortless? he will call their bluff, sow seafoam, sail where no one has sailed before. the letters he writes in his forward mind remind his family that he, of them, never was. but he does not send what he pens; only navigates, charts and starmaps, sailing where he's not allowed. 02/02/2005 Author's Note: eh? i seem to have entered an experimental phase wherein i no longer question what i have thought to put down but rather try to make something of whatever comes. essentially laziness, at its root. love
