Just Climb In

"Just Climb In"

Of myself I've taken to the sea
Casting my awful rot to its depth
Even the fish smell the sinfulness & flee
Above my water enclosure
I thought I heard a holy man singing repetitive
"Repent for the Lord is near"
This could not be, I am here
In the middle of nowhere
Dreaming as I might
Perhaps I'm just a reflection
Trying to escape someone else's dream -
That wishes me harm
The song may represent a floation nearby
If so, I've no strength to climb in
