felix paintwhenpainted (april 18 1990 / Cape Town)

swimming, swimming, swimming
in the middle of the sea
certainly not winning
mind down on its knees

waves towering and high
tattered wet suit
ocean as deep as the sky
drifting without an escape route

fish biting feet into shards
tearing off fingers
soon to be just another skeleton in the ocean bed graveyard
nothing but bones and suit lingers

got lost in the ocean
just as was chosen
