Notes for a postmodern sea shanty
the sea was a great horror though of the same mind as any to be altered
it did not know how to retire and live a private life ready for the evening
it matters that the sea delivered the best-spoken people for a song
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 31 August 1667.
