ellipse
ya know
it's all ok until it isn't
you bob along
a rubber duck
in the bathtub of the world
waiting for something you can't control
a captive in the ignorance
of silence
waiting for that happy ending
to begin
ellipse
ya know
it's all ok until it isn't
you bob along
a rubber duck
in the bathtub of the world
waiting for something you can't control
a captive in the ignorance
of silence
waiting for that happy ending
to begin
you don't hear the waves
slapping the rocks
you don't even know the rocks
are there
the tide carries you
and you just breathe
in and out
waiting
until you forget what it is
you’re waiting for
slapping the rocks
you don't even know the rocks
are there
the tide carries you
and you just breathe
in and out
waiting
until you forget what it is
you’re waiting for
and closing your eyes
surrender to the homelessness
of what you think
is the open sea
but is only
the polluted porcelainbound pond
of rich men’s dreams
