Thumb, plums, squid, beads, motor, and sail lead to sea hawks imagined as Generals and cayotes. A question about coffie precedes a falling top, gloves, lucky rain, and the abrupt appearance of Christ.
The poem shifts from comparisons of size to animal self-importance and a practical question about coffee. Its final isolated line leaves the arrival of Christ unexplained rather than resolving the earlier scenes.

Section 'IX' opens with 'There is no nail off my thumb bursting in plums' and 'To big to be squid fine enough to be beads,' then jokes that 'these sea hawks think their Generals' while 'they believe themselves cayotes' and asks 'how long has it been since anybody had coffie.' After 'the top just went down,' short lines ('Put on the gloves,' 'Danger during lucky rain,' 'And now it's Christ') lead to the isolated close 'Leaving it that way.'
The poem moves from odd physical comparisons to deckhand banter and then compresses into terse commands and a sudden religious turn. The shrinking line lengths in the third stanza and the single-line ending make the form enact the letting-go the last line names. Its tone stays casual and deadpan, with source spellings like 'Arn't,' 'Incidently,' and 'Constintly' preserved.
