Sailor Talk
January 4, 2010
I don’t believe in self expression.
It’s for the egotistical crowd.
It’s as if you’re only alive if you can talk about it
with a tool belt.
What happened to the Lone Ranger
who never talked?
(Who probably never listened either)
There was a sailor at port,
and from this hard guy who did absolutely nothing,
who just stared off,
squinting,
I knew,
without words,
without paint,
without ego.
I just knew.
