En Bateau |
| En bateau |
| On Board |
| A luxury yacht or a cruise liner |
| Out in the sun |
| Cheerful |
| With rails all around |
| Enclosing the deck |
| Walls so high |
| So the sea is not visible |
| The Captain comes out onto the deck |
| White beard, uniform |
| Faux-pirate 'Ah-ha, me hearties!' |
| Steps out from a flimsy pair of French windows |
| «There is no need for alarm, everyone must go inside urgently.» |
| Everyone files in |
| We mill about |
| In a large, low ceiling-ed 'observation deck' |
| It seems to be made |
| From cardboard |
| It might even be a film set |
| You demand to know what’s going on |
| The Captain explains, for what seems like hours |
| With diagrams, flip-charts: a lecture with overhead projections |
| «We are about to perform a common nautical proceedure known as 'Pairs'» |
| «As we submerge a smaller vessel hitches a ride… piggy-back style» |
| As the explanation ends the windows begin to fill up with a bright blue liquid. |
| You stand up in the middle of the crowded room and shout at the top of your |
| voice… |
