Why This Pirate Life
Because
I don't want
ever again to be
a businessman
stuck at a desk,
selling ****
to morons.
I'd rather be
Han Shan,
cold and hungry,
uncertain,
but joyous,
writing poems
to the void
on cave walls,
laughing at vanity,
chuckling
at attachment,
wandering the woods
like a happy ghost
riantly doing real work,
struggling
up one mountain,
down the next.
No path; no plan,
but never lost.
- mce
TN poem. Again the pirate. That was my metaphor for me. Now, just an old monk. Everything changes.
