I boarded lone and unadorned
The moistened air as heat
Subsided under the boat's canvas
Visiting with Al the captain
As bait I sat awaiting
Any who were taking
This trip into the Peace River
Four others in a named group
Ladies friendly and varied
Boarded and into the harbor
We pushed quickly out and
Under bridges loaded with cars
With conversations out and back
These wild caught friends of mine
And I were back
Lunching together as friends forever
I opted not to take their names
A catch and release event I claimed
As many as fish in the sea
I'll not foul the new connections
Simply say goodbye and
Defy conventions.
-Kelly Voelker
convention - a way in which something is usually done, especially within a particular area or activity.
