The 365 Project Pt. II

it’s remarkable
what’s forgotten
and what is not
fishing line caught
on a car sinking to the bottom
a sea lion in a boat
his flippers poking
through the holes

all this for mercy
strange misunderstood
joy what i can’t
erase becomes
a tragedy or comedy of
helplessness that
i dove into headfirst
i dove into headfirst

and that wasn’t all
when the boats
pulled round and
everyone pulled and pulled
in i went and saw
everything attached
sad faces and everything
wrecked all hooked
to invisible lines
which i proceeded
to cut
