The Poetry of
Jack Scott

My Captain

I am happy to report, my captain,
that we are traveling in no direction at all,
at no speed.
Safe,
we are safe, my captain,
from: icebergs,
engine failure,
torpedoes,
sinking,
plague,
and reaching any port.
We shall not run short of fuel,
and we can sail forever
safely.
