Coming Tonight: Nick’s Big Show, Episode 4
Tune in at 9pm West Coast, 12am East Coast, between that in the Middle.
Episode 4. The fourth episode of Nick’s Big Show.
Batting clean up. I don’t know what to say about this episode… here
is the poem it was inspired by:
Casabianca
Love’s the boy stood on the burning deck
trying to recite “The boy stood on
the burning deck”. Love’s the son
stood stammering elocution
while the poor ship in flames went down.
Love’s the obstinate boy, the ship,
even the swimming sailors, who
would like a schoolroom platform, too
or an excuse to stay
on deck. And love’s the burning boy.
— Elizabeth Bishop
Please enjoy,
Nick
