Sail with Gilberto

An endless streak of clouds,

Uninterrupted highways in the sky

Smooth, gauzy lines –

Far above the rough bumps

And stubbed toes

Way down here, down below –

Put me on a sailboat with João Gilberto

Unfurl that sail

We’ll catch the glass current that expands

Up there

We really don’t care to where

It’s a peaceful, steady ride

The sun shines in golden rays,

Gleams on our boat and warms our faces

A maiden voyage easing to comfortable places
