A Simpler Place

A Simpler Place

A Poem by Connor

Pull us out

From the bottom of a bottle

Hear them shout

A desperate fall from the shuttle

Planned defeat

A captain’s ship to the scuttle

A small leak

A team’s decision in the huddle

Pull them out

The deliberate choice and the fumble

Hear them shout

They will never understand the humble

Planned defeat

Of those who have been pulled from the bottle

A small leak

And against the wall await the humbled
