\nin my private ocean
\nin a translucent body bag
\nall my needs were met.<\/p>\n
\nwere crammed against
\nmy belly, I enjoyed
\nslow-motion somersaults
\nlike the Apollo 7 astronauts.<\/p>\n
\nbloody walls, to find out
\nwhat could be next:<\/p>\n
\nI flapped around like a fish
\nout of water.
\nI never recovered.<\/p>\n
