I really liked how you asked life’s questions. Very well done poet.

A melody of life's...questioning...carries a definite "flow" with the nautical word choices. Nice.

[Bison]

Could I only pour the ocean into the flask
And knock it back
Humming a song, the lyrics I don't know
But there's the tune coming through
Crash over me, cut the slack
I'll drift out but not away
Give myself to everything
If you'll heave me in when I've found
That great nothing I've been searching for
At the bottom of all these bottles
Oh, what is it I'm searching for
Absolution amongst the reedy people, the traffic, the insufferable masses
What is there to behold except indifference to the steady decline
Will this mark me
Leave me scarred, unable to stand
Sink in the salt and sweat
Toil against the tide
Does labor equate with progress
Can I salvage some meaning from suffering
Is all in vain
I'm not yet sure
I'm not yet sure
but hey at least there's the tune
