Sloshing around,
Under a dripping
Naked body,
Between calloused ankles
And
Tired feet that act as dams,
To
Create a soapy tide-pool.
Water that drips down
From
The alert ear-lobes,
Like melting icicles.
Luke-warm icicles.
Can be found here.
Ribbons of water
Dance like
Falling confetti during a parade,
Thrown by troubadours and
Smiling clowns,
Coming into furious contact with
Rhyme & reason,
Abdicating
Body & mind
Of all responsibility.
Then the water becomes stagnant.
The water becomes still.
This is no watering hole,
No place for
Carnivores.
This is no blue-lagoon.
Amoebas cannot exist here,
And wear lazy island hats made of straw.
The astringent nature of the
Soaps made mostly of syrup
Do not support that type of delinquency.
This same water.
With so many talents,
Doesn’t stir,
Or froth,
For long though.
Rocking back and fourth,
In a porcelain bassinet,
Like a porcelain baby.
An artificial ocean lulled entirely to sleep.
Because in it’s short time here,
It does its best to
Do such an astute impression,
Of crashing waves,
Upon eroded mountain faces,
…Minus the sound.
Differentiation is utterly unclear.
