WHERE DOES IT GET ME

Where does it get me
in my tutorial,
John Milton
now tripping with exhausted
energy in late February
in the sun
riddled with imagination
within an anchored kayak
with my back about the sea,
will a jazz fiddle playing guy
receive anonymity
from a memorial scholarship
or a medallion on land
in a territorial marathon
getting in shape and out
for a ten mile journey
crossing out to the islands
sailing off the Cape.
