There Be Buxom Wenches

CEE

I am a pirate
At least, for this poem
It doesn’t work, to really be a pirate
There’re too many restraining laws,
Human intimacy is awkward, and
Human power relationships
Are for real
And, that doesn’t sit well in pit of my stomach
And, it’s then, too easy
In some naked moment
To be a pirate for real
Which, doesn’t work, because
Restraining laws
Third base!
It’s like when Michael Palin, in Pole to Pole
Had learned enough Russian to ask for his own
Train ticket,
And the girl says something in return that’s clearly
A Q, and
Palin, sheepish, turns to the viewer and says,
“Oh, dear. I’m lost, the instant they speak back.”
Which, I’m pretty certain, is not just MY problem,
But a pandemic,
I don’t want to really be a real pirate
Because we live in a real world
Of walls, Jack
Of prisons

Don’t speak back

I said, Don’t.
