"Good Morning, World!"

THE FISHERMAN’S VISION

He steamed out 24 hours

not planning on coming back

when He cut the engine

& sat astern

testing the water:

“It was real to Me

I witnessed It

& same time I’m puzzled by It

I don’t see any reason

I shouldn’t tell It —

Some People may see a UFO

maybe They did

I thought about painting It

It’s so well embedded in My Mind

They don’t have to look like a seagull —

They weren’t

They weren’t a sea hag

They were sort of angelic like

down on the outside —

similar to a glow

20 feet away

2 on top 1 on the bottom

sea hags don’t hover

They were trying to send Me a Message

delicate hair, like angel hair

Something I can’t explain

but It happened”

The Hawk Deck 11:35pm

Oh Fly, why do You light

on My Knee?

Why do You stay awhile —

what makes You go?

Do You know something

I don’t?

Oh Fly, why do You light

on My Sleeve

looking at Me

while You wash Your Arms?

Are You as curious

as I am?

What makes You leave?

Are You coming back?
