Onward, Sailboat

over, under

rain and thunder

won't keep slowing fisherman

from trying to stay under

waves for days

for weeks

for eventually

the better part of your last year

at some old school in delaware

this may take a while

but please return our smile

you can run our hearts

corrupt the files

i can't

stop starring

this speech

i'm tearing

it's causing complications

and you're oh so daring

but try to fool me one more time

and i'll get back at you

even though my legs

aren't anecdotes for words

you wrote

for weekends at the cape

sailing on your father's boat

sailing on the sea of indescision

oh

sweet mariners

sweet mariners

we've all gone fishing

this tree

this lake

this wood

this mountain

won't clear up the sediment

collecting in the fountains

in the center of a town

next to a town

where you grew up

this state

it's getting late

and the children can't relate

to things we speak of constantly

the boring cold monotomy

and all the things that come about

when you say you've forgotten me
