I'm underwater but, I am free.
I ate the algae but, I am scared.
I can't swim. I get around.
I'm underwater.

Tiger stripes on bare skin; pink and yellow sound;
underwater blue birds; spineless jelly found;
usually the water
warms my insides out.

I've gone too deep. I've gone too far.
There are no books here. There is no bar
I'm in a panic - my insides dry.
I take a deep breath (oxygen is water).
