I saw a ship go sailing by

I dreamed last night of a little ship in a bottle floating in a sea of purple, perhaps spurred on by too much Dr. Seuss of late, but what was interesting is how the ship was a bit catawampus even while the purple gelatinous substance was shimmering and staid.

What was it that Warren Buffet said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” Someone referred me to a prospective client yesterday by describing me as smart but crazy. “Crazy how?” the person responded. “Wicked smart crazy and fast.”

I’ll take crazy as a compliment, if that was the intent. But aren’t people fearful of crazy?

I woke in mid haiku as my brain was centered on now; I was sing songing I saw a ship go sailing by and couldn’t remember the next lyric so was adding lose the crown and you won’t drown and other such Seussian nonsense, all this rushing out of my restive state.
