656 : 1/26/00 : Record of the Long Journey

Early in the record of the long journey
Weak handed, weak eyed, dying to return
To some simpler paradigm long gone by
Some sea change to shake this ship stem to stern
chapter four there were incidents
of mutiny and temporary insanity
Some ships were lost with all hands at sea
better them than me but oh the humanity
On an important day of the long journey
The captain realized the time had come
Deep in the throes of a fit of passion
Strapped down under Damocles’ pendulum
You’ll never know if you’ll finish a journey
Or what will wait for you to come back
So best keep a record of the Long Journey
If you manage to return we’ll add it to the stack
