I don’t want to say
things were indescribably
bad exactly

but things were
indescribably bad exactly

I don’t want to say the tide
went out and left him
gasping—a landed fish precisely

but the tide did indeed go out
and left him gaping—a dropped ghost

to make matters worse
god gathered up all of god’s things
and paddled out on that tide
so he swore he would die

and to make matters worser still
he rocked back and forth
in a bubble rather boggy and sad

ate nothing but thistles therein

I don’t want to pretend
things were very much worse
than they were
but they very much were

Well, fuck.

(Oh, and myopia's on that list too, but I somehow find myself less flabbergasted by this one.)
