she said 7 and then 9 and 7 again
the boat was larger than i expected
and the trip could have only taken a lifetime

announcements all the way there
to inform me of that extra magic

we wiggled the space and distance of giants
and the seating chart had congealed to the floor

the evil princess watched from a distance
as spanish turned to asian the walls began to scream

bleeding now were the mouths of everyone
they all cupped hands to catch their insides

the captain smiled as he had so many times

the sea of worms grew hands and did nothing to anyone
all the people aboard were now resting on the floor

captain said to the only surviving girl
mommy is only sleeping
and you my friend will stay down below tonight
