Dead in the Water

Hypnotizing is the reflection

Of trees in the water

With rippled waves

From the boat I'm in

Pointless banter from humans nearby

It's a little cold out here

But not bad enough to make me go inside

A little boathouse abandoned long ago

Sits and waits for it's owner to come home

My boat has turned

There are some trees

In the water around me

Dead in the water

Am I too?
