We
stole a tugboat, not exactly a tug but a
boat that was old wooden and boxy - one cabin - as in most of the boat
was that
one cabin. Was with myself and 2 women friends of varied identities -
they were
always the same 2 women tho at one point one was a boy - but that was
nothing
to remark on and she was a woman again. I knew we’d make it if we
hurried - we
had a place to go, an apartment, a hideout, on Fountain north of
Hollywood
Blvd. - tho no locale was specified I was seeing it as Fountain. We
were on a big blue remote lake 15 minutes from Hollywood of the 70s. I
used a color stick on my hair, threw packaging in the wastebasket,
shouted
Should we take out the trash - eliminated evidence of our presence there
- I was always aware we had a destination, rescue, a way out and that we
should get off the tug. At one point I was in the water swimming to
another shore though. It was nice to be swimming but
I wasn’t doing the crawl so much as some sort of active floating.
Treading? The
water was good. Dark blue and the right kind of cold but I was aware it
was not
pristine. Instantly and "off camera" fishermen brought me back to the
tug (kind as the fishermen who rescued Jeremy Renner in Bourne or it
might have
been Matt Damon). Thing is I had elaborate knowledge and was frustrated
my
friends didn’t and didn’t care. I imagined the tug owner's personality
and likelihood
she'd detect our presence - and wanted the hell to just get off it and
move on.
Prior to commandeering the tug we didn't commit a crime. So much
thinking
ON the water (in retrospect). Worry frustration detailed knowledge
unheeded by
the carefree, awareness of the adventure, the voyage, the trip, the
possible hideout funky and sunny. Redux on the prior - a winding road.
