sailing into the rocks

the only thing
worse
than a rudderless ship,
with an old
bewildered
captain, asleep
in his
cabin,
is a new
captain
with no experience
at sea,
or on land, or at anything.
we can see.
she's mute
and dumb
as they come as she climbs
aboard
to take the wheel,
grinning and laughing
from ear to ear,
barking orders
to set the sails
and proceed quickly
into the rock lined shore.
