finding inspiration impossible to find
     giving up starting over
          yet another time

he can't hope to navigate
     this murky sea of dreams
feeling downright vitriolic
     also feeling jittery

          nailing down an inkling of
     the utterly unknowable
hairs along his neck stand up

     negativite capabilities
          no longer seem profound
               sailors on the poopdeck say
                    this ship going down

          worried of godzilla monster
     sharks from here to shores unnamed
fretful and unsure he's shrieking
     "i am through
          i'll do no more"

          sailing over raging swells
     railing against neptune

wary of the never ending
     downward stabbing
          hail and rain
               bollixed by
          tumescent sheets of fog
     that flit througout his brain

spooky and insinuating whales
     despair & worry
          spout

     at wit's end
          he's shipping out
               at wit's end
                    he's shipping out
