The stainless sea
The infallible sea
cannot move aside for me.

This emergency
My overture
into Fate afflicted society.

Cries!
every
tir
ing
circle of
unappreciated
irony.

Metallic
skin -

not
me.

I am only
a child

released

(pet
fish)

into

The stainless sea...
The infallible sea.

This poem is dedicated tho teenagers - exposed to society and not feeling quite ready to accept it, feeling like a pet fish into a challenging sea.
