No Contest


"No Contest"

He’s a loser
that’s for sure
orchestrating
a contest
holds a mirror
up to himself

he’s a loser 
that’s for sure
the heart explodes
shrapnel hitting 
the dorsel 
fins 

I segue 
that is my way
I segue

I think 
for a while 
how do sharks
make babies?
It’s useless 
wondering why

and I walk away
from it all
and I,

I,
segue. 
I walk 
into the Ocean 
and I 
wonder why.
