venice waters


Everything is Holy.
Bless the Lagoon, sweet Saint Lucy.
Bless the birds, the fish,
Bless the trees on the outer islands,
Bless the waves and the wind.
Send the cruise ships to Hell.
There is room there,
for one more boat.

Looks like the classic (but not classy) flick "Speed 2: Cruise Control." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_2:_Cruise_Control

Love the thunk, thunk, thunk of the last line, Gary.
