what— what can I say?
J Watson Dec 2023
I've come up with
come up with a million
a million excuses.
But the thing is I
thing is I don't thi—
I don't think you'd under—
you'd understand
even if I
even if I tried.
Tried to explain. Because I
because I couldn't possibly
possibly form these thoughts
these thoughts into con—
into concrete sentences
even if I
even if I tried.
Because they're mindlessly
mindlessly floating
in the muck
that you and I both
both know is
my mind.

Ocean, My Ocean
J Watson Dec 2018
I want to love the waters
when the sunset glints
and it turns a quantum
orange-pink-blue
I want to love the sea
when its waves toss
my little rowboat and
split its side. I turn overboard.
Can't  I love these waters
Can't I love this sea
When the ocean is my life
And the victim is me?
~ J. W.
