We walked along the pier the other night.
\nThe soft moonlight covering\u00a0the ripples of the water.
\nAgainst the backdrop old ships past their prime
\nstand-fast as they no longer have purpose.
\nThere is a cool breeze kissing the backs of our necks.
\nAs we past each light post, I feel as if we are on set.
\nScripted so perfectly with each deliberate action.
\nWe admire the view lingering like spring rain.
\nLights hang like electric fruit from the trees in the park.
\nA bride-to-be and her bridesmaids laugh as they stand together
\ndevouring doughnuts in failed attempt to sober up.
\nA father carries his daughter on his shoulders
\nso she can see the lights that illuminates the waters.
\nFriends drink beer and sing songs of the years
\nreminiscing of days long gone.
\nFighting our way through the crowds of people
\ncoagulating on the walkways I take your hand.
\nWe going to escape now just the two of us
\nracing back to the car we hit the road.
\nWhere we end up, it doesn’t really matter.
\nWe’re writing this film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
