LIFEBOAT
Why is it..
that when you try the hardest...
Fighting the current...
Struggling to keep your head above the foam
and the waves
and the debris,
You always end up with that bitter
acrid
polluted seawater in your mouth
Running through your teeth..
Down your throat
Choking you
Until...
You slowly give up....leave it to Fate
And
...Fate carries you on, until,
Your last breath.
When
Shore is finally in sight
Strive!
