Fool's Errand
From his bottle, Grandpa took a sip. I gazed sleepily at his bottle ship. Grandpa said that life could be so cruel. Grandma said, your grandpa is a fool. Grandpa ran his mouth from his chair and Grandma said he always runs a fool's errand. Grandpa said he sought the Holy Grail, but he came up empty without fail. Grandpa's poured out tales, an ocean deep. The bottle ship, soon gone, and I, asleep. Soon, I was a fisherman in a dream, fishing for happiness in a saltwater bream, The bream said, "I'll give you a little tip - happiness. through your hands, will always slip". I tried to catch freedom in a sailing fish, but he flew away, along with that futile wish. So, I tried to catch tuna, the fish of truth, and came up with just a fallacy of youth. Next I looked for beauty in the marlin, but she put me down, "take a hike, darlin". The fish of justice, my next angling goal, took money while reading from a scroll. Ah, so money must be the fish to grab - but, sick and unloved, I picked up the tab. Every fish and thing I strived for was a joke, and one by one they all went up in smoke. All the fish in my dream were just a school to teach that searching is the errand of a fool. When I awoke, my Grandpa, too, was snoring, Grandma said, "to himself, he's even boring". I decided then, I would make my life at sea - to catch anything, there'd be no guarantee. I don't know anything worth anything anyway, except the ocean's sand and salty spray.
