Bottom of the Sea
I’ve been beat up in
the ocean and washed up
like a fossilized shell
sent away like a
message in a bottle
with a note written,
"I wish you well.”
collected by a kid
who took me home
and kept me safe in
a small wooden box
carved with, “belongs to”
on the front and
secured by
a lock
Is the earth becoming
the ocean floor?
the skyscrapers all
collapse and earthquakes
are trembling
more
I’m surrounded by
coral reefs and fish
that are
looking at me
if I’m not mistaken,
I must be at the
bottom of
the sea
