A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

a school of angry whales


gutted emotions
mutiny of feelings
the captain's calm
is truant

the heart is capsizing
while downsizing
one of the lifeboats

is missing.

This spoke to me of the Titanic, the victims, the missing or not enough boats, the mistakes made; any time we drown, we go down.
Powerful sir Jacob.

You are welcome sir J.
Less is more is not always a good thing and especially if it is something you really need though, we don't ever figure that part out until we really need it. Not sure if I got your meaning correctly, but that is how it spoke to me.
