It was all so I could set sail for north
but I don’t know the first thing about a boat.
Suppose I could levitate or let you lead me
something like a star
burning itself away.
I’m dead, I reckon.
I mean, what walks for days just like a fish
that’s flushed, his belly up
floating in a pint-sized beggar’s cup?
I had a job I quit
just to seem like I was nuts,
it worked enough.
Now my sails are bilious.
Can I climb into your mouth to stay?
Will you swallow me please?
Even this song is simple metaphor.
You’re the stormy threat of depth, so on and so forth.
Like any birdbrain I feel better
when I’m high or warm.
I nailed your doubloon
to my broken mast
but it fell over.
