On The Wild Side

I am tough,
I have suffered
almost every
calamity
known
to man,
but I
would
never
change
one single
life sliver,
for
hard
cruel
days
are the
fee
for
the
joy
of this
odyssey
that I
call
life,
this
treacherous
sea,
atop
the
mast,
howling
like
Lieutenant
Dan
it is
in these
crazy
vignettes
that
I
actually
notice
that
I'm
alive
