Infinite Trouble

from Half​-​Life EP by Berry

/

lyrics

First mate. Second mate. Third mate. Captain.
Helmsman. Lookout. Harbor pilot. Able Seamen.

We were otters crawling back to the dock
after vodka, after pizza, then one more round before we embark.

Did we consult the latest maps, the almanac?
The Columbia Glacier breaks up
right around Good Friday each year.

He heard that siren go off
and grabbed a bottle.
Highball double on the rocks —
infinite trouble!

Odysseus. Jesus. Ahab. Captain.

We were sailors marching back to our bunks
after soundings, after measures, then one more round. We make triple checks

When we wake up, the crucifix, the savior’s death.
All the fishermen at Bligh Island
should be far behind us — oh shit!

He stumbled to the cabin,
grabbed the radio,
and with a sheepish grin,
called the Coast Guard:
“We’ve fetched up hard, run aground.
Evidently,
we’re leaking oil. We will
be here awhile.”

Otter. Salmon. Mollusk.
Orca. Sea Lion. Mussel. Captain.
Porpoise. Halibut. Herring. Oh, Captain. (Infinite trouble.)
Vodka. Pizza. More vodka.
Bald eagle in oil.
