to argue

hold fast!
ready fast!
your man of war
is taking sea
with confusing tongues--
in broadside with
false cannonballs
that graze the mind--
of the beholder

your words sink--
and drown
you walk--
your desperate plank
of heavy
linguistic weight
and it carries you to the depths--
of green sea

i will tear your mast
and split your flimsy-
stanchion
the prize is mine
and i beckon--
you surrender

i know i will--
"blow the man down", again--
i am always--
sorry for it
because there is--
little seamanship--
involved

Author notes

fights often, sometimes mean, kitchen sinks involved
