We cruised out in the early evening, and it bears mentioning that the CBD cocktails, with vodka, gin and tequila options, lifted us on bubbles of Sweet Reason CBD in place of soda. Those were flowing. DJ Oli Benz spun. Montauk Brew Co. cans were cheersed. Polaroids developed and were pinned. The Ars Poetica poet typed personalized poems for people on a manual typewriter. The fog grew thicker. When the night came, total black swallowed the sea. Not even a moon illuminated the deck. And all of those things continued to happen.

The poet typed by the green of the starboard light. DJ Oli Benz blurred. The Polaroid took longer to come into focus. Sweet Reason still tasted as sweet. Everything took on a starboard-green glow. We may have been off course, but probably only in our minds.
