And then there are those other times...

And then there are those other times,
when the ferries are on time,
their destinations sure and strong,
and I, in stubbornness,
set out alone,
take foolish risks
because I'm so determined
my path and direction
are RIGHT and SEPARATE,
and maybe even BETTER
than the rest of the crowd.
It could be good --
who knows where it might take me --
but the fact of the matter is
-- well, isn't it obvious? --
there's safety in numbers.

You have such a talent for matching words to image.

I've been known to strike out on my own more than a few times. Crowds spook me.

Me, too. Classic example: when I was a librarian, I never read bestsellers...
