Relativity

Here's another kayaking poem.

                                          Relativity
                       When I want a sense of progress,
                       I paddle close to shore
                       and mark my way from dock to dock,
                        house to house, point to point, and more.

                        But when I want perspective,
                        I head for the middle of the lake,
                        where the shore seems almost stationary,

                        and the breeze erases my own faint wake.
