Hey thanks! I've always kinda wanted to go to a flat earth convention. I've heard they are actually really friendly people, haha. I think there was a documentary on it and they were just chill people who believed the earth was flat.

id love to hear their thoughts on religion and stuff. to believe in this must be to believe in a whole bunch of other stuff.

Also, i bet the flat earth convention has some great merch

Way to stick it to the reptilian overlords. They can put that in their pipe and smoke it. Good poem though.

A submarine? Truly!?

Yeah, I was a submarine officer for 10 years. In 2007 we went around the globe and through both canals (surfaced).

If I would have just done this, I would have had a very different outlook on things. But then I was recalled to Afghanistan, which changed my perspective a bit 🤣

When do we get a travel memoir?

Haha, I'll have to think about a submarine poem perhaps. It's difficult to detangle the novelty of it from its greater meaning though. I'll think about it!
