Nautical Anyway

It is a Hemmingway of sorts, a "true brute," dare say,
of a craft: all hulking post and heavy brass. You steer

towards a foggy patch, of course, greenblue too yes mm hmm.
You can taste the hush, gliding in the fluff. Suddenly, a goatboy

whinnies shrilly in the distance, & your neighbor is suffocating
you with his sack. You could always have a heart attack.

In the unspeakable dark of the deep ocean, there are electronic fish
pulsing Bangkok-bright. Think of how much sand gives to water,

the magnetizing lull you know too. You want to hear the sirens.
As with other curses, a choice first. And who should stop you.
