how ...

call me Ishmael ~ is how Moby Dick begins ~

_______________

of course politics is a farce
and it's fun to go along for the ride for a few days
as
one rogue and one prorogued G.G. and parliament do what they do ~
determing millions of lives ridden by media


but then we gotta get back to our work ~
________________
the work is waves and ceilings
dent and cave

blessing and awning
the work of 'the' artist

is shared in the daily duel with its 'travail'
not its play thing of necessity

but art is resistance of consistence of
round the whirling bend of song ~

_____________________________ So ho hey me hearties
democracy of the sea ~
& the high bending pirates ~
