Just Go
I am the albatross behind the boat
And the sailor comes to feed me a pork chop
All that beauty and terror as well
I can't take and I can't steal
So I'll just go

The speaker imagines being an albatross fed by a sailor, unable to take or steal the surrounding beauty and terror, and decides to go.
The bird position makes dependence and departure coexist. The page does not state a literal voyage or identify the sailor.
'Just Go': 'I am the albatross behind the boat / And the sailor comes to feed me a pork chop', ending 'So I'll just go'.
A self-mocking image of dependence followed by a plain departure.
