I sit on the docks looking out at the slowly setting sun. I try and focus, just me and my music. But around me are so many people trying to do the same thing: watch the sunset in peace. Why can't I watch the sunset in peace? My foot start tapping, my fingers drumming to the beat of an off beaten tune. I do the thing everyone does when they watch a sunset, I think I think hard. I think softly. I think far. I think near. Splashing the Hudson waters with my feet I think about where I was and where I am. What defines me? When am I truly happy? For right now, I am truly happy on this dock, right here, right now, isn't that enough?

American Dream
I sit on the docks looking out at the slowly setting sun. I try and focus, just me and my music. But around me are so many people trying to do the same thing: watch the sunset in peace.

I think softly. I think far. I think near. Splashing the Hudson waters with my feet I think about where I was and where I am. What defines me? When am I truly happy?
