Two sailors navigate a turquoise sea To stay afloat we made a brittle boat The ship rides low: we’ve got buckets of glee. It’s made from sails of laughter, planks of hope
The boldest storm can put away its thunder Our rolling sails will last through coldest night The stars will turn their icy orbs and wonder How we manage to float along alright
But,
Green ocean waves themselves have turned cliche And god, I keep on dreaming ‘bout that prow My bottom-dwelling thoughts ruin the day I want to wet my freezing feet somehow.
So,
I’ll sink the ship and dredge the empty sea Because I'm so ******* thirsty.
I've been playing around with fixed forms. Also, I am miserable.
