A Poem For Remembrance Of
The world has toppled backwards
on its back like an amphibian sea turtle
lost out at sea. It has not seen
land for miles.
Where is the rescue boat?
I forgot
to bring
the suntan lotion.
Scream at the infidel chickens
churning on the water they can't
seem to get
it through their heads
that we (they) are not here anymore.
not just anywhere, but at the top of
the world, looking down
at our small
village,
looking down into the water of
ourselves.
Don't dry
your tears. The sea gulls are gone,
I have always
been missing anyway,
the sun was just
shining in my eyes.
