When the Captain, he spied a lovely mermaid, With a comb and a glass in her hand.

While we poor sailors go skipping aloft And the land lubbers lay down below, below, below
And the land lubbers lay down below.

My family is an expired firecrackerset off by the blowtorch of divorce. We lay
scattered in many directions.My father is the wick, badly burnt
but still glowing softly.My mother is the blackened paper fluttering down,blowing this way and that, unsure where to land.
My sister is the fallen, colorful parachute,lying in a tangled knot, unable to see the beauty she
holds.My brother is the fresh, untouched powder that
was protected from the flame. And I,I am the singed, outside papers, curled away
from everything, silently cursingthe blowtorch

I DREAM'D in a dream I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth,
I dream'd that was the new city of Friends, Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love, it led
the rest, It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city,
And in all their looks and words.

Young men grew white beardsThe nap may have lasted more than a minute

5,2
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sightFor the ends of being and ideal grace.I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
