名人诗歌|A Boat

When I am sitting at my desk and I have feelings

It is like I am the lone^{1 passenger in a little boat}

On a sunny windy day. When we are lying down

And we have good feelings it is a speedboat skipping

Like a stone among the islands I feel were in.

When we are sitting in bed at five a.m. talking the light

On I dont feel so good I feel like were on a ferry

For another six hours going back and up and forth²

And down. At least its a boat. When I sit and talk to girls

Someplace I feel like Im in a maritime^{3 museum.}

When we walk together to the pool or park its like

Im rowing you across to Banff， and when I

Take you in a car to your mothers house， the Bay of Fundy.

At work the coast guard， walking there the merchant

Marine^{4， me in my pea coat.}
