20,000 Watts Under The Sea

  My first time reading 20,000 watts under the sea

   i was electrified

 the sunken-eyed captain and all his waves of anger

toward the open sea

Captain Sirlog versus the dastardly fog

gripping always gripping his fears

it was overwhelming my room fell quiet, i knew there'd be more pages, more adventure, lots of guess work, nothing to distract me

like a whale caught down in a rusty bike

a pelican with an overbite

and islands upon islands of unexplored treasure

and a stove set at, now clearly, a frightening broil just to compensate for a sun with depression, sinking always sinking

a mechanical beast dragging it's sturdy mecha feet through the malleable sand

the crew gurgled below the surface with plenty of room to explore their feelings

and thought bubbles of course

torpedo blast the size of a whale's open mouth

love held on by an anchor

and tiny clicking shells glowing open glowing closed

lighting the way at once, coral grief

a harp in shape of a heart

a medusa vibrating in perfect alto

the unlovable outcast of the seabed - man's worst dinner date - a cloud of ink on a shark

it was painful to watch now, as i read further on

but i had to

i was caught in a net each night trying to fall asleep

 feeling 20,000 miles better 

some 20,000 miles deeper

they produced 20,000 watts of energy down there in great Steam deposits

so the underwater kingdom could breathe 

    and see

and be free
