The Vast Ocean

just to his right, billions upon billions of stars over his head, cloud formations, aircraft and this guy stops to photograph a stick.









Dear stranger,  I mean no disrespect to you or your
sense of awareness.  Perhaps it was a unique stick.
Maybe it had once been fetched by your dog Scooter,
who unfortunately passed away last year.  It's possible,
I guess, that seeing that stick brought up old, painful memories.
But then again, maybe he wouldn't have passed away if you had
remembered to feed him.  Maybe he outgrew his little
puppy collar but you never paid attention and poor 
Scooter kept turning purple from lack of oxygen.

Geez... What's the matter with you?
