POSTCARD FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA |

| It's dark here except for the odd lampfish. |
|
| You wouldn't like it—walking's a chore: |
|
| trash twenty feet deep and more drifting down |
|
| from the oil rigs. Sometimes, although it's rash, |
|
| we float up to gaze at the flash of a propeller |
|
| or sunlight on green scum drifting from the shore. |
