Through a Filter of Scum

Don't eat the shellfish 
the sea filters through
Every thing is a dichotomy 
they say in the end
This obliqueness 
sows it's wild oats in 
the forest where only
small shreds of light
make their way to the
ground
A starlight is worth a 
multitude of sound,
a one liner, a lyric,
a pun, a religion,
you and me
and all we have on this
Earth
was meant to mean 
good things to some
