The Sailor's Misfortune Poem by Justin Tallman

The Sailor's Misfortune



I set sail
unaware
that I forgot
to raise the anchor
it still clings
to the shore
I ignore the tug
blaming it on
something ridiculous
like the wind
all the while
under the impression
I'm far off
on my way
to a better land
I never care
to look back
oblivious to
the cold truth
I never went
anywhere
