Watered Down
I do not live there. How could I live
in all that water with land floating trash
forever. How could I ever think
I am different forever? How could I live
on land thinking of water? No land is forever.
My life floating different. The sunken feeling
that nobody is rushing to the rescue. It is me
who is rescuing, who is organized into helping.
I got the wrong version of Song Of Myself.
Thought I had the right ISBN
but no, that wasn't it. I try to understand
to feel the long lines. They reach the raft.
They dangle over the cliff where I wait
warmed by swallows by bees. Some I can catch
others are snapping and whipping in the breezes.
I want them all but I only have myself, my two hands
or so I am thinking, one washing the other off.
