No more. The Starship Enterprise has landed and all of its battles are shown on the aged facade that was once lit with bright lights..thick hair..and a modicum of decency... though not much. Its Captain Kirk, is long in the tooth and has nothing more to offer to the drama of life. He sits in front of a former paramour trying hard not to let the wear and tear show. But it is so apparent.. in that fact that the Captain, a former man's man, shows up unshaven and dressed like a college student..or worse someone living out of his car. Although the shower may be his friend, it seemed that he and his friend had not been on intimate terms of late.
The jealousy flamed in his eyes as he saw the state of his former love. She, simple and sweet... watches him and wonders... "What happened?" A man who had the world..the universe at his fingertips, blows it away like a bubble in the wind. She sees through his thin veil of bravado into the broken spirit of former glory.
The starship has landed and can never be restarted. The engine is dead. The crew has abandoned ship... and the Captain.... The Captain has committed theoretical suicide by the choices made on his many journeys...
I am my own Starship. And my journey has just begun.
*This is not regarding the Captain Kirk pictured here, but a true captain who lost his way*
