I can't float in water;
All I do is sink into a body
That plugs my ears.
And that deep unknown,
That easily cradles others,
Likes to pinch my nose instead—
Reminding me
Of what I take for granted.
I've tried and tried—I don't float!
And some may think that I'd
Let myself drown but I kick
Right through the inconvenience
Of my disconnect
And from the outside, it may
Seem like I am having
A remarkable time.
