Snack #54 - Regret

I’m so calm and peaceful, can’t you see?

My ocean flows flat, living, and dormant

And you…you are blind.

Blind by the reflection and the muddy water,

muddy from turbulent sand and ocean teeming with life.

No one dares dive into the rip currents,

but only gently dip their feet, standing on the wet sand.

It’s too cold anyway.

Then runs this…crazy person,

who likes cold water and likes to swim in the ocean,

the crazy, quiet, deadly ocean.

The people watch, and shake their heads no,

as their hearts nod yes.

They never regret who they are,

just sometimes regret who they aren’t.
