"Along the Canal" by Ingrid Davis

The color! Like a sizzling sunset! Like the sounds of revving motorcycle engines and pianos mingling on Bourbon Street in New Orleans! I am dry and hungry, and this seems certainly a place where I can get wet and full to the gills. This is the lighthouse on the horizon. If only I could break through the glassy exterior, I would jump in, swim, and sail to shore!
