Fifty Five

One.
“Raise ‘e anchors!”
The mast stands tall against the sky. You were the Captain and I am first mate, the finest on the ocean blue. Mermaids line our brig and falling stars set the sky alight.

But as you enter the garden gate, collar-stiff and briefcase astride,
Time the Sea-Maiden retire to Davey Jones’ Locker.
