Ocean Ripple/Clusterfuck

Ocean ripple
Cluster fuck
(Seems like
A fine place to start)

In case you want to find me
I'm always
Blowing bubbles
On the ocean floor

I tend to sing
Something uncool
Like "Enid"
While riding rollercoasters
If you ask I'll say
There's something about
The comforting melody
Of a sound well known

A thread to hold
A part tethered
and solid
On the ground
Some old thing
That's familiar
Not all of me chosen
Shock for entertainment

A momentary decision
A spontaneous whim
Can change your life
A shift of everything
And cause the ripple effect
Of displacement
The ride
Come off it's tracks

So if you need me
I'll be down at the marble slab
Buying ice cream in November
Walking an empty beach
Singing lame songs
As a tether
To blowing bubbles
Under the sea

Back to Life

I can feel the creativity
Reaching up through me
Like a clawed hand
Plunging out of the earth
In some bad
Horror movie

But it's not yet
At the surface
Still subterranean
And obtuse
So that I can
Only hear the rumbling
Of a voice
But can't quite
Make out the words

It's coming though
Like a train
In the distance
I can hear it's call
On the wind
