The Longer The Closer.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
The Longer The Closer....
The Longer The Closer….
The Netherlands is closer to North America than you ever imagined....
and a little closer every year
do you know there are plates on the seabed?
that's just the bottom of our earth
our houses are built rock solid
but over there in the distant depths
the continents rock back and forth over each other
when you sink very deep on that face of the earth
then you are close to the north american states
you can swim right there
while atop the Earth's surface
you need at least 8 hours
to fly there
and when a volcano erupts at the bottom of the ocean
then we have on the surface of that ocean
a hellish tsunami,
as we have seen before (Aceh, Sunda Strait, Phuket)
