Swallow

The world is

a brutish plain

that is Littered

with protrusions.

An ocean that is Covered

by rows of rocks.

The pilot who steers clear

rests easy but never lives.

The captain who smartly sails

risks losing his ship.

Though no sailor is the same

the sea is always the same.

To avoid the danger is to

avoid discovery.

To go hull first

is to end a beautiful voyage early.
