Empty sails
No one launched the life boats,
there wasn't a freak wave that
splintered our deck,
nor a log to cling to as it
plunged us over the waterfall.
Plastic bottles just rolled away,
empty packets drifted unnoticed,
never missed, degraded and forgotten.
The high tides of an urban ocean
slowly dropped by familiar moons.
A midnight taxi softly closes its doors,
bedside lamps are lit as curtains twitch.
A life of lost flotsam, collected on the backseat.

If your undies fer you've been smoking through em, don't peg em out
