At the shipyard I saw the men haul up the dolphin sign, which meant that conditions were right for them to be out and playing. I lay down on the warm ground and looked at the sign…Flat and calm blue paint…Tiny dolphins frozen mid-leap. I wanted to make myself calm and flat and blue. As I watched, the dolphins unfroze, and when I looked away from the sign it disappeared,and I was neck deep in the ocean. There were children and dolphins all around me. It was hard to tell which was slipping past me, flashing silver underwater.

I remember wanting a camera…and that some of the children were mine. Their mother was next to me, happy in the calm water… and I was struck again by her beautiful smile…
I woke up with a smile on my face, thinking of kissing her, there.
