guys named Captain are always characters 
living by the water somewhere in the Americas 
South or Central, or some Virgin island
barefoot and sun kissed, and always smiling 

guys named Captain, aren’t haters, they’re  lovers
living life large, or largely undercover 
dive bars and cocktails, waitresses and tall tales  
chasing the sun, run aground or full sail, like  

   Captain Outrageous, and Captain Tony, 
   a painter and a sailor,  old Key West cronies 
   floating on the breeze the salt of the sea 
   ornery tattooed and laughing 
  …Guys named Captain

Casanovas and entrepreneurs
full of bravado that’s half the allure 
the wink of the eye, the shadowy past 
laugh lines from blowing smoke up your glass, like 

   Captain Bligh and Captain Kidd 
   Mutiny on the Bounty, loose cannons in the wind 
   buccaneers with nothing to fear 
   who go down with the ship, last man standing 
…Guys named Captain

guys named Captain, have sons and daughters 
flesh and blood, like my father,,,
Captain Vic who played the mandolin 
and when they’re gone, man you miss them 
Guys named Captain….Guys Named Captain
