Fr. Mapple & Me

Fr. Mapple & Me

A Poem by Robert Filos

call me Ishmael

or maybe Ahab
or Elijah
or Starbuck
or Queequeg

but don't call me who I am
because that is not who is me
not robert
no, not robert

just call me JONAH
for, for I that is right 
and just and true
not me but 
who me is
JONAH that's me

A life spent in rebellion
with moments of obedience
is it you
or is it me
sailing on the Pequod 
searching for that we cannot see
