*I'm stuck in this eddy.
And I'm such a poor swimmer.*
I get swirled around.
Like a little helpless fly
caught in a wineglass.
Unbeknownst to the drinker.
*I'm stuck in this eddy.
And I'm such a poor thinker.*
I allow my mind
to get swashed around...
Like a lone sock
in the washing machine.
Lost without its other.
*I'm stuck in this eddy.
And I'm such a poor survivor.*
So I just submit
to the will of the currents.
Like an empty bottle.
Stuck head down at the neck,
in the bathroom floor trap.
Sink or float...
I can do neither.
