Voyage From Buyukada To NewYork
This
brave soul
A
free spirit
Sailing from Buyukada Istanbul
For
the Big Apple
Solo
journey through rivers
Jungles
and oceans
Typhoons
torrential rains
Killer
sharks attacking
Cholera
scarlet fever scabies
Wishing
to make a splash
In a
tuxedo armed with jewelry
Proudly
holding passport and visa
The
sailor was very sad
When
an officer said
“You’ll
be detained for 30 days
Possible rabies
Also
you meet the profile
Dark
skin beard a can opener”
Imprisoned
for 95 days
Baffled
but not broken
Thanking
the men
For free flight to Istanbul
On
cloud nine to be home
Kissing
the first man at harbor
Got drunk
on seawater first night
Never
complained of lost boat
When
asked about his voyage
Looking
up in the sky
He
said” God bless Buyukada”
