I am an object always in transition
and I am told
I learn everything the hard way
near the harbor a magestic ship thrust its bow
skyward then sank
a fare-thee-well to the coming
might-have-beens
the queen had given it her name
and it was china laden
and rich in other promise-
making vessels
I don’t heed rules
often enough, I guess
I make all kinds of mistakes
in my mind
I fell in love
and try to stay there
a harbor seal suns lazy
where the ship was
