A pool with no walls in An ocean with no souls Has no choice. Fate is the tyrant, The trident even Poseidon controls not. You cannot drown if you’ve never breathed air. “Be no one like everyone,” She laughs, “Equality 7-2521.” My mouth remains frozen in the frown, Brows furrowed down. Disgusted by sheep, I never wear wool. The fibers stick, **** suffocate, Even when dry. No one else minds it. In fact, They say “baa” and wear the same masks. “Bah,” I mutter into ripples. Witness myself in reflection, introspection, Retrospection: the id is omniscient; Individuals are conventional, rarely exceptional; Explanations are like Time, They wound and heal. Truth is disposable, honesty opposable. Disillusionment is discovery, Disgusting, discarding, disregarding, Disblahblahbinizing. Splash the water, pause the thought process. Steal fate’s trident, bend it Into a bubble wand. When dawn dawns, Daintily dip the stick in. A big, blue bubble is born With each breath, with each blow. I enter the bubble, in peaceful pace, Gently lay down, Knees kiss my face. Sigh with relief, rebirth, rediscovery. The ultimate revolution ending In victory, In magnificent realizations, In my last gasp.

Thoughts of a Drowning Person
A pool with no walls in An ocean with no souls Has no choice. Fate is the tyrant, The trident even Poseidon controls not. You cannot drown if you’ve never breathed air. “Be no one like everyone,” She laughs, “Equality 7-2521.” My mouth remains frozen in the frown, Brows furrowed down. Disgusted by sheep, I never wear wool. The fibers stick, **** suffocate, Even when dry. No one else minds it. In fact, They say “baa” and wear the same masks. “Bah,” I mutter into ripples. Witness myself in reflection, introspection, Retrospection: the id is omniscient; Individuals are conventional, rarely exceptional; Explanations are like Time, They wound and heal. Truth is disposable, honesty opposable. Disillusionment is discovery, Disgusting, discarding, disregarding, Disblahblahbinizing. Splash the water, pause the thought process. Steal fate’s trident, bend it Into a bubble wand. When dawn dawns, Daintily dip the stick in. A big, blue bubble is born With each breath, with each blow. I enter the bubble, in peaceful pace, Gently lay down, Knees kiss my face. Sigh with relief, rebirth, rediscovery. The ultimate revolution ending In victory, In magnificent realizations, In my last gasp.
