mutiny (Free verse) by Bill Z Bub
 I'm off to sea 
  
now that the singular days of summer 
  the hard light days
the blinding white rays    
           are here.
      
       barefoot 
inevitable 
slipping
the stowaways       barely move
under the weight of invisible galactic terror
polly is calling 
captain future     come in captain 
future
can't you read me?
entwined in  ripe planks, 
a crow's nest
 above
the black freighter 
my lifeboat 
constructed from
cadavers of 
            faulty reasoning.
guilty / not guilty
 your honour. 
you saw but the vaulting crater'd backs
of secret sea beasts.
looks like its to be the pirate's life 
            for me
not guilty by (voided)
 reason 
of in-
       san- 
            ity.
