Passion Eddy  

Book two of impromptu trilogy.

  Bacon and Eggs


What more was there to do
other than drift in the sway of the bunk

and ponder the imponderables
of pre-teen life:  a big wave

splashed terrifically across the deck
and took the houseboat chaperone

into the lake.  Patty saw this happen
and noted its parenthetical implications.

She pondered it; and then began
to surmise life's darker sides

and its predatory essence.  She pictured
Dad sitting quietly at the breakfast table,
      lips pursed.
