The narcissist mast

 


Galloping strong atop frothy waves

Spurred often in many lunar nights

Scraping the land bound misty clouds

Lofty ! The Mast with a heedless flutter

One who often decides the route to shore

Is the brightest speck from the horizon

Slides sometime adrift into a placid realm

Sure of his poise amidst gushing waters

Tilts to bask in the glory of his stoutness

And stretches to extend his view in the waters

Instead of a small peep within the vessel

Gasps then in deepest waters as nadir

When his frenzy leads to a capsized ship.
