...You could stand by the ocean, meet a stranger there, and say to them, "Penny for your thoughts?"
And then launch into a wistful, beautiful conversation.
Somehow you end up talking to them about how hard your life was as the black sheep of the family, and they confide in you, and they tell you how Roger always was cared about more than them, and you ask them, "Who's Roger?" and they say, "The dog." And you laugh. They laugh too. You both have a moment, and look out at the sea, then at the stars.
Ha ha ha. I'm just rambling.
