The Commute
Mr. Crab, have you had a long day at work?
Have you missed your current? The bus back down to the bottom?
Oh- Mr. Crab, I see your blue twill suit and red tie. You seem disturbed. Stressed.
Floating around the top of this crystal clear turquoise water shining in the shimmer of manmade lights.
I can't see the bottom? Can you?
It's late, Mr. Crab. Almost midnight.
Won't the kids be crying, the wife gone mad?
It's a long way down yet, to the bottom. To the sand that you call home.
I do hope you catch your current, I see you struggle.
One... two... three...
Good, Mr. Crab, you're on your way down.
I do hope you make it home soon, this area isn't safe.
Two barracudas just swam by, keep your wallet held tight.
