Sea Life In Blue

Sealife in blue I see before me a Formica table greasy playing cards and dirty fingernails. The ship is stuck between a watery valley of green waves. In my ignorance, I look at the map on the wall it shows land and sea, but little else. In the corner of the map, something idiotic is written in Latin: "Navigation is more important than life." I think of Vale Paradiso; the ship is cumbersome Ploughing its way there. The waterside bars are all the same, whores, music and booze. This time I will stay on board, play a cabal with greasy cards on a Formica table.
