Quotes about: Boat

• The future is a fog that is still hanging out over the sea, a boat that floats home or does not.

• Every time I get happy
  the Nana-hex comes through.
  Birds turn into plumber's tools,
  a sonnet turns into a dirty joke,
  a wind turns into a tracheotomy,
  a boat turns into a corpse.
