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 title settles the argument before the poem ends. With the artificial blank lines removed, the albatross image reads as one continuous limit being reached.
