Calm Clam

This strange, old familiarity
of each hour, of every new day
assures me I could find my way;

       though fundamentally alone
       with my cry's echo I was born,
       so far I've managed on my own;

although by cruel waves of spite
and by swirls of sham crushed I am,
I'm holding on, I'm the calm clam!
