The Day of the Relative Weight of Difficulties


Your words raise the sun’s bright barkentine
A sea is quartered in the cove of your throat
The sun brings you ten bottles of home-brewed
Water spouts and here’s his drowned intellect all
A-swarm in drunk gulls O it’s very infantile how
The sun shipwrecks once again on the smooth
Shore of your chin but wait! there you stand
On the poop deck waving a bouquet of balisiers
Full-tilting a song about a whale named La Baleine
You’re belting out a ballad about an alcoholic
Whale in Hackensack who works at walmart and
Misses Trinidad not a home not the island nation
But a predictably dead lover now the sun sings
With you too without caring what people will say
