we drank in the salty

ocean spray and ate some of her salmon
for our last supper on the island I remember
because I logged on in one of my old journals
dating back to early 2000 what kind of crew
had we become living out of dumpsters
looking for a treasure... there, on a

bun with a single order
of fries on the side
was my pursuit all
bottled in the first year

of my destiny in the 21st. century
yes, brave men and women enduring the
most extreme privations with stirring fortitude
bearing lamentation and such as you’d never
believe... while unfortunately in pursuit of
goals that ultimately proved
worthless in

the finding not to
forget their dearly departed
who left for higher ground in eternal
suburbs some call paradise it was in such
times that I recall these especially sad songs

having overtones interlaced with mocking
wails many crusades over the soles &

into the interior of life were sent
out in those years and so
depressively close to
the surface some
of us were lucky
though and ducked
others simply walked on

egg shells heads doggy ear drooped
trying to capture sunbeams near the end of
hesitant rains speaking of which none have

ever found nope not even to this day I
swear it most pretend to not know
of the bleeding to the sea and
you know something else

almost everyone of
those missions

turned to
sour
which
lead to this
summation perhaps
no one in the department
of inquiry has expended so many

dollars and so many lives in pursuit of oh so
desperately pointless a dream not to mention energy
many sailed imaginary dreams just to find them nourished
by tears my journals paint many an amazing thread of those
babbling stone brooks of the daring the botched and the

absurd adventures however I never could really
explain so well but in its combination of
tragic ridiculousness and ludicrous
daring it is an irresistible

not to mention
absorbing
tale to
say
the
least

Yep ... to say the least ...
that's what I'd say.

You're quite remarkable, my friend.
Yep ... to say the least.
