Aidan McDonagh
In a rowboat
Leaking from both ends
You scoop water
You can’t row
Still drifting from strokes made minutes ago
The beautiful sunset goes unnoticed
Your boat should work
Your boat should float
It has been with you forever
It is all you’ve ever wanted
You have no desire to change
To upgrade
To waterproof
But it won’t stop leaking
You want to breathe
You want to relax
You want to enjoy the sunset
Can you let go?
Maybe it’s time to let the dream die
Aidan tries to make sense of experiences and thoughts by adapting them in a way that others will resonate with. The idea that no one truly knows what they are doing brings him comfort, and he hopes to try to comfort others by sharing his experiences with them.
