Best Angstsea Poems
CLAM SHELLS, SEAWEED AND A WHOLE OTHER BUNCH OF JUNK
I looked through the ocean
I searched through the sea
But I never found me
She always said that we were different
I’d ask how and she would always say
“only in every definitive way”
So I set a course to change those things
I bought her little trinkets, bracelet and rings
Yet the thought of her “we are different” still sorrowfully stings
My beloved loved all creatures one and all
I remember I purchased her a tiny little rabbit
That was the same year I first developed a heroin habit
The difference was tangible, perennial, and hurt
Exactly how different we were I would come to know
i.e. to cross a stream she would wade and I would row
I’m going out but I’ll be right back
“no, you’re just going out to score”
And that’s when I watched her fetchingly fly out the door
But I liked dope so much more
And her dirty looks got old
Then dirty looks turn into dirty words, or so I have been told
On that beach I found clams, mussels but no answers
I wanted her back but the sea didn’t agree with me
And that which I wanted to trade couldn’t be given away for free
I strolled into Neptune’s marble front door
I thought of where I am and where we once were
Now I search the ocean and a sea but I never find me or her
