Remember
that dream you have
where you’re about to have sex
with a dead shark
except that white guy from NBC shows up
on his Patrol boat, with his silver hair, yelling
something hokey and obnoxious at the same time, like
‘You’re too late pal–this predator’s mine! Catch your own’?
it’s never very clear
which of you he is talking to, though
you always take off your mask
just the same, as if
preparing
already
for your mugshot.
Remember
that you have this
dream again and again, and
each time you wake up
feeling like a high-rise
that just collapsed
in the middle of the desert–
You do, really?
Because I just made it up.
Always
remember
that it helps to remove
your mask when you need to swim
for your life.
