It was the most awful ship
to ever set sail.
A butt for a leg
and a head for a tail.
Waves crashed and churned,
sick of the nonsense.
The Ocean rebuked
a boat with a conscience.
Made all wrong. Made all wrong.
but set out regardless.
A prow for a mast-
how could you be so heartless?
And then Heartless from 808's & Heartbreak plays and this kind of sloppily crafted multi-person costume of crudely formed cardboard emerges from the stage as the lights go down and the stage is bathed in red light and I throw Dixie cups of water from a table I've wheeled out from the other end of the stage at the boat-beast as it blindly thrashes about.
