-He builds a ship as if it were the last thing \
-holding him together, as if, when he stops, \
-his body will fall onto the plate-glass water \
-and shatter into sand. To keep his morale up \
-he whistles and sings, but the wind whistles louder \
-and taunts him: Your ship will build itself \
-if you throw yourself into the sea; time \
-has a way of growing your beard for you. \
-Soon, you'll find yourself on a rocking chair \
-on some porch made from your ship's timbers. \
-The window behind you is made from a sail, thick \
-canvas, and no one inside will hear your calling \
-for milk or a chamberpot. Your children \
-will have all sailed to the New World and left you. \
-But he tries not to listen, continues to hammer \
-nail after nail into timber after timber, \
-but the wind finally blows him into the growling ocean \
-and the ship falls apart on its own.
