Sailing under a false flag
We're crossing the IDL
Becalmed where no creature livesLost, forsaken, cursedHoled below the water line
A shift in the plimsoll line
Pumps in the engine roomWomen and children firstHysterical, no humour
Sabotage, a rumour
Captain-less and captionless
Injury, hunger, thirst
Reptile, prehensile, servile, editorial, gentile, fatal
