1/4/08 My Houseboat

My houseboat is white with a white railing
and you can climb on top of the roof
and hang out up there.

It's tied to the bank all summer
on the Mandan side of the river.
It's actually not mine.

If it was my houseboat I would untie it.
I would sleep there every night,
and always wake up somewhere new.

I would go inside and make lunch,
and then bring it out on the deck and eat it
while I floated. You could come along.
