all hands on the Calypso deck

"Man's end,
a mound of gleaming bones:
a flowering and a fading."
--Hamei


i've been diving for sunken treasure
seekers who say they've found no longer seek
walking tightropes through hoops
high above rotted nets wishing i'd slip
i see joy in her left eye sorrow in her right
it's hard to skate above all this lunacy
love feels like fire and love feels like rain
what keeps a bird in flight is not a matter of physics
but tiny invisible cables stretching from the clouds
i've not found many answers... only more questions
most atheists need a God to not believe in

"jesus is so strong i wanna roll him
in a joint and smoke him"
