Trying to float


Trying to float


You just got to try

you’ve just got to set your heart to stun

and hope you sail away

a lone craft setting off into the setting sun

you must forego your way

and cast yourself adrift into the world

the sea

the parapsychic ocean

you’ve just got to own each passing day

as though it was the last

that anyone on earth was going to ever see

you must hit the brake

you must put your foot down

it’s like a particularly tough

computer game

the controls won’t respond to you at first

living is non-intuitive

but you persevere like Percival into

the forest at night

you burn what fuel you have to

you drive

and take each turn as it comes

as you learn your craft

as you float away
