cleaved from the cap
ten percent
is all you are allowed

it saves you from the truth

it teems
it teems

it want's to be afraid of you

and it gets nourishment
from the mix
this deep

waves you will never see
movement as city

hearts and minds won with compassion
a pity
a pity

do not

        sink
             on
this

The ten percent I'm allowed is maddening as it is...

teeming, yanno?

Of course you do.

from much less than 10%

I think you left the deeper part
of this
beneath the brine, bri...

most assuredly,
this cries
for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th read...

if for no other reason, but to see how it
capsizes others....

well done, sir!

This warrented several reads. You say ten percent, well the other 90% was pretty intense.
Left me thinking!
