Easier Than Said


They lifted the sea and that was the next.
If you have three choices,
you have three choices and parts of January,

nearly all of January and nearly all of Sumatra.
You have a survey and parts of the ocean.
A column of seawater to have unwrapped

is not the worst of it.
To be the worst of it, to be fully the worst of it,
is to have to rush back to the seabed in a little morning.

Has Competing Features


Louisiana's new product that can plant itself in rifts
and seas is locking green horns with neighboring Texas,
these giant plains that share almost a rectangle.

It can only be purchased online through bodily fluids,
and anyone sick enough to worry about it
is sick enough to know it's working.

The finding is that oceans don't know what color they are
(green, green), or that they know it but only share it
with someone they've previously showed it to.
