12,114. 'FORTUNATION'

'FORTUNATION'
Here's the message in that bottle
that washed up  -  floating on
sludge and a trunkful of oily
water. The note inside said:
"You will only by a narrow
attendance find a respectful
deliverance from your woes."
Chinese conundrum; or a
fortune-cookie dream? I knew
not, so I moved along. Right past
the Church of the Transfiguration
too, where they were celebrating
the Feast of Our Lady of the Harbor.
(Boy this gets complicated quickly
and denser over time). The water
slapped the few boats berthed at
the pier. A small cart tried selling
hot dogs; the guy inside the cart,
always smiling. Funny combination;
but he couldn't get out.
