freezing. whammy-brandished. clawed calypso. stolen cargo. dead libido. swans and seagulls. ports and starboard. sails and portholes. shore leave. clammy-kitchens. clawing kittens. stolen moment. torrid surface. ocean refuge. pale and patient. waves and windbreaks. saline. eyes and entrails. cloudy fog-trails. frigid fevers. all-enveloped. midnight shimmers. glassy highway. memory-dimmers.

I'm liking the title, and many of the individual lines. As for the thing-in-itself, I will nod knowingly, and select six from the dropdown menu at right.

I do not know this shoeshiner person, but I find myself in the odd position of agreeing (several times recently). Strange.

does a failing libido equal celibacy? Stick to musing.
