Interlude - A Captain's Haiku

The pirate captain

Unique roving criminal

Compass and arrow

In Sagittarius

And Pyxis, at their brightest

Born on the twelfth month

But his true birthday

At the end of the Twentieth

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

At century's end

In a blue planet

Far from Io, far from Helix

In the Milky Way

A miracle made

To taste the bitter fruit born

In the tree of time

A young lad with dreams

Sweet dreams, to move from the 'hood

And achieve greatness

A loner in life

But one with animal friends

And with family

Yet his life ended

Saving his best friend from death

A life for a life

Another rebirth

Unknown cause, reasons unknown

Not Truck-kun this time
