Boat Ghosts

Boat Ghosts

They are lined up
side by side
in the marina,
boat ghosts.
Come Easter, they will shed their shrouds,
rise again,
walk on water,
part the seas.
Some will pass over
the watery graves
of their sunken ancestors,
once full of treasures and men.

They are lined up
side by side
in the marina
wrapped
 in  prophylactics.
Practice safe boating,
buoy awareness.
Careful not to smash your...dock.
No DUIs,
you party barges.
He crashed
one summer night
after the wedding.
