note: i recorded two versions of this and accidentally uploaded the "unwanted" take first (below). this is the version i wanted but since i can't figure out how to delete the first post you all get the added fun of the "alternate take". pick yer fave!

isn’t it funny how

water we are

mostly

yet still we thirst

when skies open up

or our eyes

it’s 35 parts

salt

let’s float atop

this sargasso

buoyed by eels

and grasses

we don’t need to talk

or do nothing

but just float here

and laugh

here we can’t sink

this water

like a blanket

it is warm
