i thought i told you
i tried photographing the origin of the sea
i thought you told me
you tried sightseeing from the otherside
an unsourced wave
an undeclared sigh
a mary cried
a unnumbered variation of an anguish
truenorthavenue: "In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, Simplify." h.d. Thoreau
