Poetry Endorsement: Bosun
5 years ago
At a friend's recommendation, I checked out 
Bosun on FA.
Here's the poem I read, and therefore her page.

It's been a while since I haven't completely understood something. Then again, I do enjoy difficult video games and it's a lot of the same concept: you're entering into something you're going to grasp by degrees, not right away.
I don't want to spoil the poem--because discovery is such a gratifying accomplishment--but I believe it's a poem about a person's torment of their alcoholic father, and a desperate escape. "Lady Bligh" is a cheap brand of rum, which the speaker's father enjoys.
As for references to "tutti," "cresc," and "pizz," just keep a browser window handy if you don't know music. These are added as a silent music queues. Crescendo, the next part is getting louder! PPP, pianississimo, the next part is extremely quiet!
It's a fun spice that I didn't know existed in poetry.
So, summarily, check this out. Learn about "Mister Sun" and the poet's strange journey. You'll be satisfied once you get it. May take a couple of reads; I know it did me.

I guess I took it more literally. I read it as somebody who grew up to be an astronaut. Afraid of the dark as a child, plunging into it as an adult.

OP
I really like that interpretation as well. Then we get into a situation of "Ground Control to Major Tom" with some serious spaceship failure. Very nice.
