Open water,
too thirsty to swim
for help
lathered in sunscreen
in the middle of the night
A dark ship on the horizon
that never stopped
with binoculars broken
and an aimless captain
The dog knew
and jumped ship
treading water
to blend in
with the circling sharks
too thirsty to swim
for help
lathered in sunscreen
in the middle of the night
A dark ship on the horizon
that never stopped
with binoculars broken
and an aimless captain
The dog knew
and jumped ship
treading water
to blend in
with the circling sharks
