Tanker


I will not negotiate with the vicissitudes of emotion,
I won't entertain the vagaries of myopic desire,
Like an enormous tanker in a tumultuous ocean,
I will reach port,
I will reach port.

I'll hijack my own mind,
ransom my ego if need be,
if this is the one life that I've got,
there's no way it will be taken by thieves.
