what do I care if no one understands?


I don't understand

and I'm as at sea trying to dope it out


as anyone else who mistakes some port

on their way as a final destination


bribe the official with ignorance

get canned for his uncompromising adherence


to some murderous code of honor

every port in a storm


is a storm onto itself

and no one understands why


and I don't understand why

so we stay adrift in the stormy sea


holding our journeys if nothing else
