Amphibious We are predator and prey we come together in harmony by coincidence, in support by accident we glutton, we gravel we subsist in cluttered solitude by parallel play. we are a world of toddlers selfish and entitled blessed and deprived we need what we want expect what we need we scream in water we eavesdrop in air we fill in the mumbles we make our own sense we know it's over we pray for the remnant who find grace in such stowaways who's salt blurs their vision so they would see, because it's not me, it's not us, not us amphibians. |

Yo Joe Houck, I very much like your lines: "we subsist in cluttered solitude by parallel play." Do you mean "grovel" or do you really mean "gravel"? Bobby |
