A thousand ships
crawling over your back
lying on two oceans
connecting the north and south
a commotion after nap
startling
the billows of the Pacific Ocean
and the waves of the Atlantic Ocean
a life in meditation
the dam to
the raised river that flows
through history
through generations
through a stranger's dream
through civilization and sin
banners with distinct color tones
hanging all over every port
with the attitude of an owner
welcoming
all visitors
Panama
a ship that travels
a river that connects
the world.
