14 minutes

The engines are hidden but one
can tell even w/o seeing them
they are big.

I was standing on the seawall 
checking out this boat so low
and flat w/somewhat aggressive
graphics when a dock boy
walked up, asked, “Whaddya 
think?”

I wasn’t really sure what I was
thinking but do know I nodded
and he offered, “It can make it
to Fish Creek in 14 minutes.”

On Revision it takes, oh, a while
longer and yes, we would go on
to see that boat on the bay and 
the hair in the cockpit was flying
as it skipped wave to wave.

“14 minutes, huh?” is what I think
I said. 

I believed him then.
I believe him now.
