doing it the long way


Billy Collins walks across the Atlantic
wondering about fishes beneath his feet.

I am more cicumspect, I think
when I take my first steps
atop the big grey mash of waves
and whales.

I wonder about dead sailors
who didn't think to take that leap
of faith

And giant squid
with all that ink
and no pen.

Billy's eyes, were fixed on Spain
mine, of course
are on the Cape of Good Hope.
