You’re swimming, okay, And the Bible suddenly opens up. Not many people are faced with this, Except you: you’re an exception. How do you take it? Barely, would the sublime horror of communion pass on your lips Once the ocean take its Leviathan form, and it opens its mouth to speak. Its oratory becomes very clear in the maelstroms of countless gallons Rushing blue cannibalizes itself before you; you have no time to think of death When the salt’s burning your eyes and you’ve finally figured How useful a gyroscope can be. Too soon, three darknesses will emerge from the desolate homily Taught not to discriminate in thought or action: the backs of your eyes Straining against the buoyancy, the restfulness of not seeing a bottom, And the path Jonah’s bones took, the disbeliever. Mostly, you’ll want to congratulate yourself like a legend, You wonderful piece of **** when you come in crashing on the waves.

How to get eaten by a Whale
