I Know

I guess I salute you captain
for all that you’ve given us:
something to hold onto.
Running with scissors;
He’s frantic on his feet.
My love goes in droves.
Soon they’ll both be here
and they will belittle me.
But, you will not mark me red.
Try as you might, assailants!
I know you’re all watching me.
I have committed no crime.
If I’m guilty until proven innocent then
brothers I’ll just have to do my time.
I guess I salute you captain
for what you've given us
the long way home
Wingless angel smiles…
It appears that she’s happy
from what I can see through the window.
(I digress)
If I’m the cause of everything that’s wrong,
well I’m sorry.
(I just find it a little hard to believe
that you’re being truthful to yourself,
but no matter I suppose;
cause it’s not really my issue.)
I know you’re all after me
and you may pretend I am wrong,
but it’s art versus drugs
and I know which side I’m on.
My mistress’s eyes are nothing like the sun.
Godspeed you north, Charlotte
and your cheeks seem rosy and red.
I’ve just comes from the town we grew up in
and your father is dead.
This is your letter
from the captain of a sinking vessel!
You must rise, onward to the heavens men!
I took our ship down purposely.
Do you see what I see?
That mythic giant squid
approaching with speed.
