Coltan; says:
ten thousand years I've spent logging this ships travels.
Ten thousand years I've been rocked to sleep by the unruly waves
The waves...oh the waves were like my wife.
they were moody and unpredictable
And impossible to shop for
they provided me with food,
and something for me to jiz in
I loved them.
I've travelled from the sea to the ocean and to the sea once more
I've seen every speck of water on earth and still I havn't seen it all
it makes sense if you read science books
I've fought pirates, and I've wethered storms
I've been stuck in calm seas
where you can see for ever and see nothing all at once
Every legend, every myth
has graced my hallowed eyes
the mermaids rubbed my cock
and the giant squid fixed my mast
his ink works as glue.
no one would know that but me for I am the master of the sea
I've seen the ice caps bust apart
I've seen a giant walrus learn to dance
The green flash was my night light
the fountain of youth my milk
the loc ness monster was my teddy bear
and this ship was my bed.
I've had every disease ever known
and made a few myself
You can blame sypholis me
I'm serious
I've seen species of sea life unimaginable
I've seen distasters unbelievable
and i've travelled distances unfathombale
well techincalaly not
cause I wrote down how far I travlled
and you can measure it in fathoms cause its the ocean
but besides that...
I"ve visited the lost city of atlantas
its only lost because I needed the map for a fire starter
it was cold one day in antarctica
I battled pirates single handed
and buried treasures on the ocean floor
if I wanted to return to the land i could be the most wealthy person ever to stand on earth
but I made my choice long ago.
The sea!
eternal life!
it was offered to me by a pedlar in venice
Iw as 72
and dying
he said "sir! have you ever sailed?":
I said no
he said to me "would you like to sail for eternity?"
I said "how much would It cost"
he said "...this is something only you will know."
and I said I would find out.
lord knows how much time passed
it could have been days.
it could have been centurties
it could have been an instant.
I was reincarnated as a baby born to a captains wife.
on the good ship "vrastifan"
it was a russian vessel
I was raised on the boat and never touched the land
for everyone was killed
by raiding pirates
I alone survived by hiding in bile
I was 2 years old.
the ship was lost
we were surviving on fish we caught and people who died.
when i was the last one standing
I knew that this was bound to be my home for all time.
I've been keeping a log of my activities
for 10,000 years
and the only way you could be reading this
is if I finally found the loophole that will set me free
yes, thats rigth
I grow tired of eternal adventure
and I long to set my spirit at ease.
the price the pedlar said i would discover
is the pain of living alone for so long.
I realized
talking to a parrot fish
about the fountain of youth
that because i am already going to live for all eternity
If i drank from the fountain
it would reverse my immortal state!
So
if this ships log has washed ashore
then be aware that I am in the resting place of all souls.
if you care to join me, there is a pedlar I know. He lives in venice. I'm sure he'd be willing to show you they way. But know this....
ten thousand years
is no more fulfilling.
then 72
if you spend the 72
with more
then a ships log to tell your tale to.
