I was born on a boat,
Not a house or a hospital.
I’m the bow on a wave,
Not the cat on a windowsill.
And there will come a time
When my sailor bride –
Lonely as a widow –
Won’t drive out at night
To save me from the gutter where I lie.
It was forged out of greed,
Not a need or a souvenir.
Cursed at the slots,
Not pulled out from a grandson’s ear.
And there will come a time
When it will lose its shine –
Sure as the monarch on its skin’s decline –
It will rust and fade.
I am vile but I’m free
And I’m safe when I’m out at sea.
I’m not her, she’s not me,
I’m not there as she packs and leaves.
The coin that’s never really anyone’s to keep
Gets picked up,
Passed around,
Dropped on the street
To roll into the gutter next to me.
