He walked along the peninsula
Seas of cobalt blue to either side
His only burden
Which sea to swim in
Seas of cobalt blue to either side
His only burden
Which sea to swim in
The privilege of this state of being
Never occurred to him
Nor the poverty
Which had elevated him
The poverty of those
Who could never walk along a peninsula
Seas of cobalt blue to either side
Without a care in the world
When I reminded him of this debt
He casually shrugged
“I did not make them poor”
And dove into the South sea
Fibreglass boat in dry dock
