I am a sailor
on a ship with a wheel
to steer, and sails that
take hold of the
prevailing winds
to take me here
and take me there
or blow me wherever
in a storm’s crazy fury
that takes no heed of
my tugging at the wheel.
I am a sailor of today
and yesteryear, caught alone
in this unfurling sea of chaos,
heading to the edge of the world.
