Crosstown Seafood Dirge
I couldn't tell you exactly where this happened?
i wanna squeeze the foam
off the seventh wave
i wanna count
every second drop
but i’m a fuckin squid
more tentacles
than testicles
i wish to wake clear of head
and light of heart
in order to begin again to win again
not so fresh but a place to start
but i’m a fuckin plankton
i exist
to get stuck
in a whales tooth
i have the power
to alter this hour
i wanna be
the change i wanna see
but i’m a fuckin jellyfish
i am merely a guest
of this tide
i just wanna relax
let all my guards down for a mo’
take it tight and take it easy
mix the fast with slow
but i’m a fuckin lobster as well
damn my legs look good
- i may very well be the fish that John West rejected

John west lol! Good work! 😊👏
I don't know why everyone's laughing. This felt so sad to me and tragic.
This just made me laugh out loud. Luckily no one is in the office! 🤍
I loved this in so many ways. You made me laugh and made me think deeply at the same time. Very well done.
But tentacles can grasp and plankton can make of break the whale in large enough numbers. Jellyfish can sting, and lobster are armour tough.
Uhm...lol. This was so odd, but so you and so funny too. "but i’m a fuckin squid more tentacles than testicles" lol, genius. Just, sorry for laughing so much...I really hope I've not offended but that line is just brilliant. The whole damn thing is. Love the theme running through it!
