sorry to be a PAIN

I prefer the joking
of scott
knocking out a few words
to amuse and confuse


stilllll.... I want to respect this crippled creature
and I don't respect the selfish giving in to my petty
qualms in the face of the every day heroics of the big city


dream of a boat ride to the pure white artic
finding Pym's body in the melting ice
learning Poe didn't make up a thing
that he had dreamed hard enough to create

somewhere in my copious seafaring journals I would write:

I live me
not your dream of me
