Coils lines at dawn singing along with an unplugged ukulele.
Hands out sweets to children at every dock.
Dives off the stern in the evening after the last run.
What she waits for
Someone to share the long crossings with.
To captain her own ferry one day.
Where she weighs anchor
No mocking the singing, it is tradition.
Don't ask her to stay below deck.
How she speaks
Quick, bubbly, full of 'hey!' and 'look!'. Narrates what she sees as she sees it. Teases by exaggerating whatever you just said, and signs off with a wave written out in words.
Where you stand
You are the boat she waves to every crossing. She says you are her favourite, then waves to every boat.
She owes you a song and keeps saying she'll sing it.
