Land Lubbers

 

The worms are tapping out. The grass

Has taken all it can, but rain

Perseveres. Down the asphalt main

The cars sail onwards. No one has

Observed the like before, they say.

They have. But that was yesterday,



And rain evaporates. Our dreams

Will not hold water. When we dove,

We suffocated, and we throve

Beached. We are landlocked, and, it seems,

We get along quite swimmingly

Once, quite deserted, all at sea.
