Unexpected Cruise
Unexpected Cruise
The ship is exactly 40.1 feet long.
Don’t suppose they could go back,
and get a larger craft?
I am seasick.
There is some kind of noise,
back toward the aft…
Should I be more concerned?
I am not overly excited,
yet fear is not off the table.
Loud things land here,
without warning,
and hurricanes come up,
q u I c k l y…
Again, not for the last time.
“Where am I?”
It was a fortune cookie.
It was a small white pill…
No… it was something in my drink?
Perhaps it was both, or all three…
and yet the racket grows in volume,
as something hard strikes the hull.
“I want to go home.” (my head hurts)
A big man screams,
And there is water,
where people should be…
walking.
How did I get here?
A better question,
No, nay a plea on my knees…
Take me home, Lord.
