Longer Boats

 Longer boats

31/Atlas

There were boats bobbing

in the bay of Panacea

I’m not certain the kind

Stevens sang of

Possibly dreams of aliens

Possibly the type Wallace

wrote of

I don’t know why Mary

dropped her pants

in the sand

let a parson come and take

her hand

From a child there has been

a longing

for the boats

for the deep sea out from

Panacea.
