The Prince

The prince princes like no prince has ever princed before with pince-nez glasses in his pockets and bows on his brows, freezing – ice, white breath – sinking ships and volcanoes asleep dreaming about oceans that in turn dream about ships that would sail on them one day and submarines that would sink with their periscopes showing someone the world that is being watched without knowing that it is being watched – men and women who do it all the time hiding in the safe shadows of submarines in pale blue for a living to earn money, a voice and their daily bread with spelling errors while some may choose to call them mistakes not everyone feels so and so it isn’t the opinion of everyone while it could just be the opinion of some or in the worst case many and in the best case the belief of almost all of everyone but not really absolutely everyone, even worse, it isn’t even all of everyone and it is useless to wonder if the subject of statements like these is singular or plural for the answer at times is either and at most times it is neither and drunk are the quiz masters who conduct quizzes on words and word origins and their questions are meant to trace the roots to their own origin and their continued survival till date and existence as on date with an almost written expiry date to let everything be known to everyone clear like the water in a flowing forest stream or even better, a mountain stream
