The Day of Spiritual Contour


There’s a sea god look out! the ocean is waving
A gazillion green banners all those brief assertions
Riffling the surface blinking like ones and zeroes
Innumerable innuendos breathing in breathing out
Not to be gathered again into this particular vista
The unlimited text messages of a personal nature
Such a god might send on an omnipotent iPhone
But the ocean’s not a smart-phone it’s dumb
Cold and choppy and mostly predictable tidewise
O my dear may the water wash it all away
The alarms of adolescence take so long to stop
Trembling to quit frothing greenly to plunge now
Toward whose flesh fumbling stiffly against numb
Homeric waves collapsing epically for nothing
