How many

How many

Sharks per hour

Pass by

Just under

These legs

Swimming

For their lives

Of late

Of late

We’ve been running

Out of sand

Whatever happened

Just before

Or after

These last four

Or five moments

Kept me practicing

Their insignificance

That red light

Appeared at the wings

Just in time

For me to quit

Going on and on

If I seem to be asleep

It may be

I’m projecting

An old and

Grainy flicker

That thing

That thing we

All must suffer

A common defeat

Speculating

On reproduction

With every purchase

Ooo I’d like to get

My hands on

Someone up to

The task of

Warming my senses

While developing

A different format

For every image

I noticed these

Oranges in the snow
