Advice From a Zooplankton
Like a shy zooplankton, I float along
Carried by fierce currents.
I struggle but fear makes for strong,
harsh deterrents
This life feels microscopic, the drifting
in every direction
I can feel the current shifting;
no protection
So I yield myself to the water’s will
As true zooplankton do.
It washes over me, until
I’m born anew
