ocean

no meanings are inherent in the name
we find ourselves just staring at the foam
seeing the waves as a gigantic comb
and flow of waters as a huge old game
one or the other makes a big old claim
on all of those who are required to roam
searching for the one true honest flame
the signifier is a brilliant flag
born by a signifer of no mean type
but we are bearers of a lesser sort
not suited for the hunt of the great stag
nor for the playing of the noble pipe
but fit to be attendant lords at court
