"There is one old man...

well into his 80's

that has been painting 

these  buoys for over forty years in Rockport, Massachusetts."

 "The ground swell 

is what's going to sink you

as well as what buoys you up.

These are cliches also, of course, 

and I'm sometimes interested 

in how much one can get away with."
