ALWAYS MONDAY!

my kaddy has left
the building

he did have long nails 
NAH!
my ride retired
forced!
17 years great service
did i mention she was
old man champagne
traditional ride
i did improve the sound system
nothing like rollin down the road by the river 
drivin drivin drivin
not stopping 
NO!
not even for pee breaks
just drivin drivin drivin
i did pack a snack
nacho cheese doritos
jelly beans
2 5th avenues
a half eaten tuna salad sanich
a warmish yoohoo!
good sanich it was
caught the yellowfin this summer
just as many seasons before
yep
i got a b o a t
i have a boat
rather a hole in the water
that i pour fish money into
in efforts to keep
the damned water
OUT!
La Fortuna 
is her name
all 46'
the fortune
i spent the better part of 20 years
on the open waters
of the western hemisphere 
chasin catchin 
blue marlin
black marlin
yellowfin 
bluefin tuna
got paid to do
what others 
paid
to do
the waterfront attracts
the dregs of society
who else would spend their lives 
putting food
on american tables
drinkin their monies
away?
answering siren songs
of mermaid fame 
don't know of anyone
that remembers 
the song
only it was 
powerfully 
drawing us back to sea
i would not trades those days
for any other
nor
would i like a do over?
why?
i already did it!
there is so much more
out there

i piss in the ocean
because i can
not
because it's kool
