The captain of the shrimper
Blood and Guts tells me that
His boat broke down off the
Mississippi coast.
“We did get back to Brownsville,
without a tow.”
“Did you eat the cheese cakes my wife
made? Did you share them with the crew?”
“Yes, we all ate them,
And the boat rocked up and down.”
“Going out again soon?”
“Yes, soon.”
No cheese cakes on this northeast trip,
way up into the Gulf, way up ….
Eugene “Gene” Novogrodsky, early December 2011
