my head feels a little top-heavy
a little too much vodka last night
trying to make the demons go away
let me get my sea legs
get my bearings
check the latitude and longitude
stand by with the warning rockets just in case
one more cup of coffee to lubricate the system
seaworthy once more
a light chop, storms affecting the shipping lanes only
some fresh air and sunshine would be good
if I can drag myself outside topside
topside now dark dark dark sunglasses on
peace blowing in the wind about 15 knots
laying down deck chair I just wanna melt
drip over the sides into the water
carry me away nice and easy
no answers, just more questions
I don't wanna entertain any questions now
warmer inland, cooler by the beach
sound of a distant jet leaving a wake in the sky
splish-sploshing against the side of my boat
some things are timeless
I would count the sea as one
other things time runs out on
when it's gone it's gone
