On the lifeboat

Far away
We see

The Ship go down
--

We watch it go down and then it is gone
-.-.-
There is only an expanse of deep blue sea
Stretching to the horizon
In every direction
--

(The boat is gone)
.
Alone
With
The Sea
---
We
Are alone

We are on the waters

We are so very far from what we know

We are so very far from any sense of a social reality

We barely can survive and then-
Only day -to- day
--
On this tiny lifeboat
Surrounded by "strangers"

Adrift on open unknown waters

--
--

DON'T PANIC!
( don't
panic)
--

---
After we get THAT down
..
We'll get on to a new phase
