water

some swim like fishes.
some look like fat beached whales.
some swallow tall tales.

the grass is greener
through my rose tinted glasses.
water for mind health.

there is an ocean
that separates me from you.
my soul’s no swimmer.

daily frustration.
no home for a landless man.
in a country state.

so long summer friend
i prefer winter’s embrace.
lying chattering teeth.

a long drag of air.
inhaling the hopeful day.
night comes fearful.
