"Is this a pirate?" the ask.

"He's a pirate? You're kidding!" I always hear that.

But do they know me?

Do they know my story?

My life?

No! They don't know anything.

Anything about me.

Anything about being a pirate.

You know… I'm a real pirate.

I always escape alive.

And they?

They are always caught and killed.

And me?

The pirate that isn't a pirate?

I'm here.

Always alive.

Never caught.

Never dead.

Why?

Because I'm Capitan Jack Sparrow.
