"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

On a silver boat

NaPoWriMo Day Twelve

In a glass case
rests a silver boat

On a silver boat
rests the soul of a man

The man wakes
from time to time
and remembers who he was

The man remembers
who they were - 
the people that surrounded him

The man remembers
where he took them,
the man remembers
what he taught them,
the man remembers
what he built for them

The man remembers
that they remember him

Now the man rests
on a silver boat
in a glass case
and he reminds them
