03012026 crybaby learns to swim

im sorry for being lately
a little less than physically here
its my mind thats torn
between what it wants and what it ought to do
entombed in this room
in an active indecision

theres more to do
than i know how to do
if you ever knew
you'd stay deadstill too

floundering in that same old rockpool
under that same old summer sun
until that same old tepid water
evaporates aruond that same old you

ltitle fish in a shrinking pond
youre not growing
you havent grown
you dont know how to
still just that small fry
and asphyxiation
is such an awful way
to die
