Enjoying a few moments of water

A fish out of water tonight.

I was sitting at a table in the banquet hall at a charity attended by many who had deep pockets in the suits they wore, came in their Benzes, and gave generously to the cause.  The program was nice, the food was excellent.

During the speaker's allotment of time my mind wandered, however, to a place I would have rather been... far, far away, where there was relaxation, ease, laughter, and love.  For a few moments, I enjoyed the water. I stayed there as long as I could, but the speaker finished, the charity ended, and reality reset itself.
