Our
words
are fish
caught in nets
you know our meaning
tangled and wriggling to be heard
you could cut the ropes
set us free
to swim
and
choke

Jump
ship
this way
walk the plank
springboard jump and dive
down here you will find what you lost
unread messages
in bottles
plastic
screw
tops

Born
In
liquid
womb nurtured
we're water babies
swimming amoebas from the sea
on a great voyage
to glory
human
death
squads

Eat
now
then drink
it's easy
busy guys    fast food
chuck the bottle   chuck the wrapper
on beaches    from riverbanks and boats   go on  chuck them
tampons   condoms   cigarette butts
they all float our way
we're hungry
we eat
and
die

You're
all
welcome
harvest home
playground and aqua-marina
when you left you lost fish fins   scales   gills   your mermaid tails
you forgot paradise garden
we're patient   we wait
embrace us
enjoy
the
feast
