(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,

   In the bilge beneath the gunwale; 
 Lidless, bulging, reddened eyes, swivelling upwards,

Cybersurfing netizen flounders...
analogous to a fish out of water

Ever since being a little gull hubble buoy,
I bobbed (while donning square pants)
like spongy flotsam and jetsam at sea.
