If I Were A Mermaid

by Megan Aries - Not entered

I'm sitting In my car waiting for
the Algiers Ferry. When it comes
it will sweep me into the 
Mississippi, where I belong.
There is a beautiful sunset
reflecting off the skyscrapers
in the city, I just want to be home. 
NOISE
We are moving...
My haven is here, take me away
King of Blue Absolutness.
I thought it would be different
than this. The motion brings
sickness.
Are we there?
It took so little time to bring
me to this death. Wait for me
Posidon, for I am coming to you.
I am coming home.

Reason for writing:

    I really was on the ferry writing this...
