There is a book and a bowl on a table.

The bowl is blue. The book is green.

The table is wood — a medium brown, if that helps.



The book details how to murder people.

The bowl is filled with fingers.

From a window, can be seen distant lumpy, grey clouds — flashing with malice.



Ugh, apologies, that was a movie we were watching.

The book is actually green and the bowl, blue.

The table is wood — a medium brown; no change there.



On the cover of the green book, in gilt reads: “A Primer of Navigation” (like for boats). 

The blue bowl is empty but has fine, white, concentric hand-painted waves on it.

The view from the window shows an ocean, horizon and sky — calm at dawn. 



Also on the table is a phone; black and reflective.

There is also a mind (like a brain) above the table; though that part is too much to go into. 

We likely should have started there.



The phone almost seems to mock the book — like no one sails seriously anymore.

But really, the phone is just shiny and black and the book, green with gold lettering.

Book. Bowl. Table. Phone. Window. View. Mind.
