And now, you are full of hope and, in anticipation of this solitude, you take a step, another, go around the trap, go around all corners and other obstacles.

And here it is: the home stretch. But then you stumble over the hatch handle or the hatch itself, a greyhound looking at you like a buffalo at a hungry Indian. A couple of these same gulps spill out of the vessel. Drops fall on the snow-white deck. Nothing, think to yourself, and step over the fender hovering near the rails, waiting for your reaction.
