Lonely World

This is what we must do.

Under the sea there is not one,
not two,
not even three lone lives in a school of fish.

There is not four,
not five,
not even six that lead or fall behind.

There is not seven,
not eight,
not even nine that separate from one another.

There is not.

They steer together.

Each in unison.

Throughout the murky waters and the grasps of nature.

There is not a school which is driven by anything other than each other.

Yes that is what we must do.

Steer by instinct.

There is not a life that is driven lone.

There is not.
