Sailing an aluminum can through the plastic ocean,
Cruising across narrow passages and dangerous ways,
Rocking and rolling under the continuous motion
Of dark poisonous mercury waves.
The boiling sun elevates a sulfuric mist from the sea,
Its torching heat blisters his darkened skin.
His mouth stings as if full of bees,
A desert of fluorescent water, not a drop to drink.
Zombie sharks surround the little cask,
Decaying fish breaths make him dizzy.
Corroded by acid, the tin starts to crack,
Escaping certain doom will not be easy.
Rowing, rowing, faster, faster,
He seeks the long-lost Island of Bliss.
The only place where he can find Her
And perish from a venomous kiss.
