    On the middle of that quiet floor
    sits a fleet of small black ships,
    square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
    their spars like burned matchsticks.

    I was so sick last night I
    Didn’t hardly know my mind.
    So sick last night I
    Didn’t know my mind.
    I drunk some bad licker that
    Almost made me blind.
