yellow black and red of the pontooned aircraft hugging the city deck was muted The pilot squatted on his haunches on the dock underneath the wing expoundlng the mysteries of herodynamics to bugeyed audience of five The littlest listener wearing tee shirt sneakers and corduroy pants with hole in the knee didnt understand word of it On the other side of the dock boats of all col ors shapes and sizes swung in the gentle hammock of the water Inboards outboards and centre boards The Patron The Skylark and the SuzieQ Punts dories cruisers canoes metal wood can vas and fiberglas New old and

The boathouses were rusted and dirty Wooden docks stretched out from them into the water like gnarled and aged fingers Their planks were pitted and scarred ringed round the ends with old lengths of fire hose and discarded automobile tires The lower parts or the tires were in the water and myriada of delicate strings otemeraldgreen sea weed uridulated sensuously from them THE UGLY REVERSE Looking back at the city from the for end of the dock you could see the ugly reverse of the brightfaced main street shops Rusty red brick and cold black fire escapes You could see dull concrete and cars and garbage cans and cords 01 wood and piles of coal You could see lush green leaves too and flag fluttering and silver church steeples The bus terminal was crowded with people arriving and people
