Sail

12.6

I saw my name on the page 
it was written in ink
red ink
so apropos
so f*****g permanent 
it's hard not to think
I'm going down with this ship 
some day, but not today
I'm gonna stay and sail away.

I hate red ink. It reminds me of school and those teacher's painful remarks which were indelible. I felt anger here.

You are welcome Edie.

A vitriolic piece with mixed emotions it seems as the protagonist sees the writing on the wall but begins to develop the thick skin of defiance as a reaction.
