slip between the slicks

Under Lying Message

 

Coma Baby, any ubiquitous tragedy

Petroleum under the sea

breaking surface

fissures in our social contract

corroded wealth

corrupted Earth

Tell me a tale of forgiveness.

 

"Tough choices must be made!"

Congressional random phrases

 

The difference between faith and bliss

engine of tarry black submarine

leak of held back tears, grief of millennia

 

I feel America crying

taste salt, polluted brine, dystopia

The best hope for our regeneration

for our continuity

for our survival

Let GO

let the race be won

the trophy given

the competitors disperse

aglow in glory

while we who endure

quietly, quaintly, alive to each moment

slip between the slicks
