Odd sight it was
For the bird above
It saw me, and my family, and other people's families
flailing in the sea
It said,
“I wish we could help.”
But it couldn't.
Odd sight it was
For the sea surrounding us
It felt adults, and children, and babies
Flailing in the sea
It said
“I wish I could help.”
But it couldn't
Odd sight it was
For the iceberg back there
It saw wood, and metal, and humans
Failing in the sea
It said,
“You deserve this.
Don't crash into me next time.”
Odd sight it wasn't
For me
I was pushed into the water
And never came up to see anything
“And..... cut!”
I felt the blue blanket pulled off me
I turned to see a sea of red seats
And one happy director
He walked up the stage, to me
And said
“Congrats, you got the part.”
