April 10: not a Shanty

 I opted to ignore the prompt about Sea Shanties. Here’s what I did instead.


I murdered the sea with my bare hands

And a rather debilitating investment in single-use plastics.


Call it what you will.

No one will be writing rhymes for all of those animals choking on Mountain Dew bottles or the jelly fish mixing with the water bottle I borrowed from that dude at the gym who drinks 8 gallons a day and just chucks them at the trash can (generally missing).


No, the sea took a number of things from us:

Maybe Amelia Earhart 

ATLANTIS

Leonardo DiCaprio at the end of Titanic

Various Feminist Icons

My wife’s first dog


It had it coming.

I’m going to enjoy watching all of that salt and all of that water dry and mold over or whatever it’s going to do.


That will show them all.
