A Useful Process

I have all kinds of memories
I follow fourteen-hundred
Fellow postees on Tumblr
To take me there
Today it is the turn of Raul-Dufy
With his painting The Basin of Deauville
Which apparently was painted in 1935
Or eighty-six years ago
So quite a while before I was born

That one painting, courtesy of Wikipedia
Takes me to fifty more works of art
Such that I am in danger
Yes, I really am in danger
Of completely forgetting my first connection
Which I am pretty certain had something to do
With harbours and boats
Which reminds me, of glasses of chilled white wine
Let alone who I was with, in that inarticulate moment
