3142. AND NOW THIS NEW OVERTURE BECKONS

AND NOW THIS
NEW OVERTURE BECKONS

We set out for the open sea,
in a leaky, shitty craft. The
journey was 70 years long,
so they said, and we steered
wherever we were headed.
Winds blew fierce or sometimes
not at all. We took refuge in a
million shoals and narrows;
illusory, not really there,
and - always - gone
before tomorrow
arrived.
