Sink or Swim (1996)
By
James Moats in Thomasville, NC
sink or swim
that's what i hear from him
that advice landed me here again
but i swim
it feels like the smiles only come
when my feet are planted in the bottom mud
but i swim
i run around and look around
and think about him
i try to find a reason to be firm and still bend
and i swim
i can find enough energy to tread
just below the air covered edge
it's hard to keep a nose above
to suck in a salty breath
there's no motivation so i just stay soaking wet
so i swim
he has no reason to fight
so he thinks
he doesn't feel what i see
so he sinks
we take a breath and sink
we run out of breath in sync
it's not as deep as you think
it's just the kitchen sink
just pull the drain
