Drowning.

A steady rise, crescendoing voices, volume growing,

Crash.

A convincing lie, sea foam daydreams, excitement exploding,

Crash.

Mass production, tearing at the seams, heartbeat soaring,

Crash.

Faster and faster, shifting sands, monsters roaring,

Crash.

Holding desperately, thoughtless paddling,

Crash.

Breaking the water,

Crash.

Salt in your eyes, then

Crash.

Raspy voice, gasping,

Crash.

A mouthful of water,

Crash.

Light fading rapidly,

Crash.

The ocean has claimed you,

One last distant crash, then-

Hush.
