Cold, the tea again
Seeping its goodness to wind
To have forgotten
yawn reeks dimly
As the clock ticking headache
Wasted day again
The mermaid is under the sea
But the sea is under her rule
And even the darkest night
Is no match for unreasonable sound
Fathoms away from mortality.
The heart of air is there tonight,
Seaweed fins like dust on radical carbon
The mermaid is under the sea,
Swimming in unknown dark.
I can feel the scratch
Of a crimson leaf on my white skin
Passerby of real life
Spider jolts buzzing fly
Paralyzed to silence now
Transfixed, I linger
The poets are dead
Yet infinitely live on-
Their poems are alive
Skating on ice
Cracking beneath quaking feet-
Portal to cold hell
Most people have
Most people have . . . what?
This fill-in-the-blank makes my mind blank.
Most people have . . . eyes?
Most people have . . . homes?
But who am I to generalize even these?
I only hold true to what I know,
From my city.
But how is my city, my city?
My city
How can it be?
When it is just a land
Controlled by minor politicians
and taxes?
None of the sea belongs to me
Yet it gives me such ecstasy
That I suppose the city may be mine.
And now I know the answer-
Most people
Have their
Own worlds.
Thank you so much for reading! Despite it being unfiltered cringe!
