A Poem about the Esoteric “40 Days and 40 Nights” of “The Flood”

Still Afloat by Benjamin Stone

Just going to write and see what comes out.

40 days and nights
Isn’t long at all
When you think…

If Aphrodite can do the deed,
Then I will take a drink

And dive into the waters of the Flood,
But in my boat.

I’m sorry about the rest of y’all,
But my ass is still afloat.

This was many many years ago but I’m in the Great Esape on West End in Nashville and I was looking through old vinyl records and started talking to this guy who was doing the same.

I asked him what he was looking for. He said drum samples for his brother who was in Jars of Clay. I think he was producing them. I forget. Maybe he didn’t say. But thanks, man. Thanks for this. Thanks for everything. I love you. I’m so glad we met.
