Cool Clam

soothes yet burdens me
                                           this strange familiarity
                                                 of every new day

                                               for by birth we're all 
                                            fundamentally alone
                                                echoing our own

                                         and though rocked I am
                                by waves of spite, swirls of sham
                                          I'm the cool, calm clam
