The Embarrassment

he tried to take it
all in stride, the
embarrassment.
he had even lived
like a country that
could afford too lit-
tle too late.  but the
cinematic sirens.  the
sirens they plunged his
eyeballs. i nto his eye-
balls they plunged.  and
out poured a very large
sea, which all called the
ocean.  and all the while,
eons, the embarrassment
kept trying to get up, but
inside, the embarrassment
was filled with embarrass-
ment, and even more such
pathetic and horrible tor-
ments.  and outside, the
sea, which some call the
ocean.  the ocean of no
feeling.  the ocean of
pleas, or, for some,
the ocean of please.
but to each eye
that sees, to
each eye that
sees, the ocean,
the ocean, the ocean.
