The top pocket of a nondescript burgundy shirt; heavy with the rattle of own-brand tablets…as he passes the horse-hair over the bridge, so a gas filled freak ambles around.
lyrics
Push me down and I float back up
I’m in control of my buoyancy
You can find me in waters warm and cold
Look at me; I haven’t evolved
For a few million years
Still, I’m happy and weird in my striped cocoon
Devilfish to the left of me
Manta-rays to the right
And a sliver of starlight as company
I passed much doing nothing much ‘cept feeding, stirring up the sediment
At the bottom of the ocean
Subtle change internally and I rise several atmospheres
A thin crisp outer-hole protects my soul from the crushing depths
