The Night the Firemen Went on Strike

The night the firemen went on strike,
the police were called in
to reason with them,
but the firemen struck anyway.
The small white castles
that held the water
broke,
making a warm water world
with floating pieces of white castles
and firemen floating in their crafts:
companions to me
floating in waters in which
I am surprised to have
no fear of drowning.
