But after that were
The Marines who might be said
To most aggressively confront
The world, and I wished the best
Tools, feeling there was too much
Already out there
To have to recreate.
From five-hundred yards
I could see the bull’s eye
And hit it all ten times.
I was ready for anything
After that. The weaknesses
Of Twain, the novel Dreiser
Failed to write,
The Open Boat that carried
Me into other seas
I needed to navigate
Like Slocum voyaging
Around the world
Single-handedly
In his Snark.
