water

time is a river
flowing to the great ocean.
i’m caught in the weeds.

the night is wint’ry.
the air claws through my thin skin.
shivering timbers.

some ducks squabble
while others duck for fish.
fuck ducks suck.

heavy is sleep’s weight
like a sisyphean rock.
trapped by coarse sandmen.

the day passes by
like a drunkard unaware.
trails of vomit.

wet is wet, wet wet.
when wet is wetter, wet wet.
wet wet wet and wet.
