Even as we try
to behave as
decently as little ministers
ought to:
We ought to
salute the rippling black
pirate flag
snapping in the windy sky within us.
Even as we try
to behave as
decently as the Sunday school teachers
ought to:
We ought to
enjoy the Sunshine
on the leather brown skin of our pirate souls
and the way it glitters off our
bone notched blade.
Hugh Miller
