Lost At Sea

Out at sea on the flimsy raft My Zorro mask and Tarzan pants can't help Used only to wipe my brow under the punishing sun I lost them too after a while by a crashing wave What could be worse than losing your clothes Monstrous charcoal clouds mount heavier than Basalt Weigh on me like planet Mercury Storms on the ocean can be mean and fierce Hunger is my next best friend It clings to me like a lover Memory escaped as well without permission I must have lost it somewhere else through negligence But those are long term problems Surviving immediately arises here and now Seas come up and churn on mountainous waves Thirty feet high and rising, agitated against me If a cruise ship should happen by right now I wish they would avert their eyes away Being lost at sea is one awful matter I don't want them to see me naked And I would feel shame if they ask my name The one thing I can't remember
