Bodies Are Slumped Everywhere
Like Beached Whales
Or Dead Dogs
Beer Cans Scattered
Like Napoleonic Corpses
And Bottles Too
Are Transparent Cannons

Wonder At Our Futility
As We Swim Out From The Shore
To Be Carried By The Waves
To Whatever Coast Will Have Us
Or To Forever Sleep In Ocean Bliss
Stiff And Heavy-Eyed
I Leave Before The Whales Awake
And Return To My Family
