I am a sometimes sailor with many Ports of call.  I am a dreamer and I go where I go.  There  are only Dreams on my itinerary- some More vivid; some I like not at all Some bright are not my type and Some though dim are very rosey. Between my voyages I know not No thought and when I wake I Have no idea where I've been or If any time has passed.  I am dead. Then I dream again waking from The deepest sleep.  That's the way It is.  Nothing lasts but the trip it- Self.  I cannot count how many Times I have died and rose again. As the old woman said: You call This living!  It is a sham.  To which I reply a sham for you my darling And most becoming.  She makes No answer but I  I see the a twinkle In her eye and that for me is good Enough; Makes all the difference.

A Sometimes Sailor
I am a sometimes sailor with many Ports of call.  I am a dreamer and I go where I go.  There  are only Dreams on my itinerary- some More vivid; some I like not at all Some bright are not my type and Some though dim are very rosey. Between my voyages I know not No thought and when I wake I Have no idea where I've been or If any time has passed.  I am dead. Then I dream again waking from The deepest sleep.  That's the way It is.  Nothing lasts but the trip it- Self.  I cannot count how many Times I have died and rose again. As the old woman said: You call This living!  It is a sham.  To which I reply a sham for you my darling And most becoming.  She makes No answer but I  I see the a twinkle In her eye and that for me is good Enough; Makes all the difference.
