Listen to poem:

Euphoric Fish

In the waters of my life I heard
the voices of euphoric fish, but
where am I now?
A shield has broken;
the shell of my dreams is a levelling,
bringing me here to this world,
feared, dreaded so often.

So where are those who remind me
of a brand of sanity?
Why do I wait in this place so long
to see your very normal faces?
Why do we favoured companions 
rarely meet, greet, like euphoric fish?
Yes, this trio of old, old friends.
