see

you drop pretending
unpack your dolphin
slip it on your sleek self

sea rider
hurrying to the rescue
already

they used to laugh when
you fell through air
gasped on earth
sizzled in fire
now they'll sea for themselves

you zip your dolphin up
your sleek self
your two eyes visionary
your third for hearing SOS

hurrying to the rescue already
sea rider

they never understood you
but now they'll sea you
in the sun's glitter
