We Are Ships And We Have No Anchor Poem by RIC BASTASA

you do not like change
life is a big gamble
everything is always going
towards change

you are afraid on the future
your hands grip the present
your comfort zone is in this
corner

i am not afraid of change
i deny everything
the present is not permanent
yes it does not have to

i throw away the past like
a scratch of paper
all the experiments are there
i always name each moment gone
my waste

life is an experiment
there is no need to think
life comes here like somebody else
you cannot name it.

i have no names to mention
no chants to mumble
no magic to assure me that
tomorrow with be all right


when you wake up tomorrow
morning
i will not be here anymore
i am destined for new places
for my mind is the wind

you must like it here
just the way i feel but,
and there is this big but
we are ships and we have no
anchor
