Bad Democrat

I one time saw a portrait of the ocean when it was almost dark out lashing around with a wooden ship up and out. I have listened to “The Downeaster Alexa” when Billy Joel sings “So I could own my downeaster “Alexa”/And I go where the ocean is deep/There are giants out there in the canyons/And a good captain can’t fall asleep”. I think of a saltwater taffy store along the border wall of an ocean town. I see storms in the sky and fizzy water turning down by the dock.
