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