Is there a story? Yes, this wintry voyage of poetry continues south toward the pole and the maelstrom. It’s a ship of fools, heading toward empirical enlightenment? sailing between the Charybdis of atheism, and the Scylla of fundamentalism? Reading these poems will increase your sperm[aceti] volume by up to 50%. Ovid, Milton, Pound -- these are my poetic heroes.

88.
You wanted nothing so much as you wanted to sail So why'd you fail? Now they'll set you adrift Marooned in a spoon. Now the storms won't lift. You think you feel an island But it's not an island That's just the devil's tail.
