north current crossed and tidal untimely
intent on swimming intimate disguise
sinking facades in errors sublimely
conversed in reverse and land-locked replies
calling all hands on battered deck regrets
blue memory voyage and horizon wits
beg bronze navigation to settle debts
to overboard throw constellation fits
while plank-walking poetry baits the sin
reducing, seducing fair-weather play
to salty sensations anchored within
mainsail mistakes on this showboat display
