The Disease
December 16, 2008
THE DISEASE
A man.
A man with a disease
anchored on his back.
Such as an anchored boat.
A boat that is sitting still
going no where in a rocky ocean.
A boat that can’t go on
until the ocean calms.
A boat that must lift the anchor
to lead on the right direction.
And then
a boat that is finally sailing.
The disease is over.
