The Odyssey, a new translation

You know what, bro? I somehow feel like singing. At
a certain moment,
it all turned
real: things occurred, I sloshed
through the tombs of
Troy in high
boots. Friends died, or disappeared
or stopped replying
to my messages. For a long time
I was lying
at the bottom of the sea,
empathising.
Priestless,
alone,
shtum.
