A GREAT PERHAPS
What is this?
It is walking toward me, without hurrying.
The sadness will last forever.
Write... write... pencil... paper.
I have not told half of what I saw.
Southerly gales, squalls, lee rail under water,
wet bunks.... Hurray for anarchy!
Now I can cross the Shifting Sands.
Please put out the light.
I am off in search of a great perhaps.
God will forgive me. It is his profession.
