About Me

It looked like a jaw after a western bar brawl. Shattered across the shoreline like broken teeth in a pale gum, the boat looked incurable. Even if this jaw was reconstructed the teeth would never meet, it would click constantly and kissing would become a painful experiment in endurance. But it was a boat not a jaw and she was a pirate not a cowgirl and this was some island somewhere in the pacific, it was never Kansas.
