We’re Ships

relation-ships

are no regatta

such parades

require lotta

boats on bays

I reference

–not a–

mob

but

dates,

in this sonata…

a ship of 2

say—me & you

exchanging

duties

thru & thru

no captain

serf

just 1 big crew

no warring

wor-ship

equal sloops

–since ships

that don’t keep balance right

will bumper bergs that hide in night

and likely sink

twixt

black

&

white.
