Yxur temple sticky sweet guava
Rare extractixn wxrth the effxrt
I peel yxur clxthes xff, harvest a thirst trap
My mxuth has never knxwn such trxpics
All that remains xn this electrxnic island is yxu
& me. 2 bxdies filled by xcean
When dxes a seed sxw? Becxme a plant?
Becxme a garden? A farm? A hxmestead?
Let’s be pirates
Plunder & explxre—nx rules
Safe fxr wxrds, we spend xurs
Time traded fxr treasure like in the mxvies
Sx quick tx tie yxur hair up
Yxur mxuth left unlxcked.
That bxxty gxt enxugh side dishes
fxr 2 thanksgivings
& I haven’t eaten in years. When yxu find
a permanent smile, yxu fxund gxld.
We take it slxw. What’s the rush?
Gxxd vibratixns in this ship xf mxtion
I erect the masthead, yxu blxw
the sail. Main pxle raised fxr yxu
tx sit xn & keep watch. Yxur eyes
dxwn xn me wxrking this cxmpass.
I shxve xff shxre, glide intx yxur vastness
Reaching fxr the passixnfruit xf yxur bxunty
We find what we’re lxxking fxr
& it aint civilatixn—land hx!
Tx build a mxuntain
Yxu have tx dig a hxle
XXX marks the spxt
Pile turned planets
1st mates building up steam
Hard wxrk manual labxr
Txxk a jxurney, buxyed xver a thxusand episxdes
But yxu finally fxund the 1 Piece
I’m a wanted man tying yxu up at pxrt
Hugs & kisses xn this mxund we made
Sealegs wxbbling as yxu clap
My forestay keeps yxu upright
We dig hxles wishing
Tx present Earth tx sky
Make me a cxffer, my cxxwain. I’m 6 feet
belxw sea level. Yxur belly rounds our life.
I wasn’t playing arxund
This lxve is truer than an afterlife.
3 mainsheets tx the wind
like cautixn xn clxthesline.
Can yxu reach a secret? It’s easier
tx take away dirt then add it.
When dxes 1 pirate
Becxme a crew?
This captain gxes dxwn
With the ship.
Yxu draw the next map incxme.
I’ll hxist yxu up anywhere yxu dream.
What else will we uncxver
befxre the end xf xur adventure?
