Not Very Deep Thoughts About The Sea
The entrance is not obvious.
You can’t walk on the sea.
A house.
I feel alone at the seaside.
As if the whole earth was an isolated island.
The sea from nearby seems like a faraway landscape.
Inside the sea you die.
Outside the sea you die.
You can’t walk on the sea, except in exceptional cases.
In the sea you disappear a bit.
The sea. To those who are not used to it, you need to explain that it doesn’t disappear from one day to another as when holidays are over.
