Tread Water

We were fools,

So we boasted. And everything we thought we knew was misplaced.

What supported us, from below?

Gone, misplaced. And we were forced to rememeber to swim

Without end.

In countless waters. Where your feet would never touch bottom.

No rest.

We forgot, we forgot.

In endless oceans where your legs might cramp and you might be drowning...

...days after weeks and long months

we were hungry.

The deep couldn’t have us,

we were hungry.
