Moby Dick



Lifted and worn
drift wood sails to a wider place
smooth blue grass and plastic wrappers catch
Turner's sky is doing fine.

..............

A bass drum hits
two hundred years ago, somewhere in the yellow sea
stories of a monster stir the sea bound man

Ishmael's son starts
the white whale:
"They say she took a harpooner's guide.
In her flat fin. She never sang.
She turned round and lifted two boats high from the sea
Everyone singin, she swallowed 'em hole."

Have you heard the song: Heartbeats by The Knife. Perhaps the best thing since m83.
