“I cannot have a man who is afraid of everything,
I don't have the time to soothe insecurities and fears,
I cannot have a man who is standing on a stone by a creek,
watching for the fish to swim by and every time he sees a fish he says
"Oh look, this fish scares me, I wonder what this fish means,
this fish might mean- this, or this fish might mean- that" for God's sake,
they are just fish, and they don't mean anything!
Such a sad thing, so many fine,
strong men standing on top of little stones,
pointing at fish all the time! Such a waste! Such a waste of time!
I can only have a man who will leap into the water,
not minding the damn fish and whatever other little things that scare him.
I need to have someone who is braver than me;
if I am a pirate, he has to be the pirate Captain,
if I am a pirate Captain he has to be the flying dragon.”
