There's this mermaid girl I knew once. She had long blonde hair, and she smoked tobacco under water. She defies the laws of the universe. She had deep green eyes that screamed the names of lonely sailors. I hear they got lost in her eyes, so lost no nautical device could guide them away. Her ******* were covered by shells. Sea shells that glowed their gratitude as they lay on her chest. I hear she moved exactly like the ocean, or maybe the ocean mimicked her. When I heard her voice, it was like bubbles. Like bubbles that begin at the bottom of the sea and run through the water to so delicately burst on the top. But even delicate bubbles have capacity for violence. We, they, you, have reverence for a voice they tell stories about. Her face shone like the ripples of light at sunset that stunned the sailors in awe. Her hands, smooth like pearls. Her lips, tantalizingly terrifyingly beautiful as all the reefs the wrecked the ships. I knew a mermaid girl once. She had long blonde hair and she smoked tobacco underwater.
