A Boat on a Leash

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKnpk9OMWXg&t=46s

I dreamed that I had
a boat on a leash,
which was strange
because moments before,
I had it in the ocean,
and I was fishing off
the starboard side.
My nephew was with me
and he got us lost.

We dragged that boat all
over Ventura.
We were looking for
the marina.
The longer that the boat
was on the leash,
the smaller it got.
Pretty soon it was
just a toy, a poisoned
dog that we
threw in the trash.

I wonder what Dr. Freud would think of this one. Odd that the boat got smaller as the length of time on the leash increased. Maybe you need to let something go.

Could be, my friend. Thank you.

very interesting concept....I think of how we poison the people we are cruel to. And how we just throw them in the trash, forgetting that some day we maybe the one on the leash.
