Eat The Water

the taste of water is an alien emotion
that sits in the back of my throat
like an uninvited guest
that refuses to leave
so i chew and i swallow
so i gulp and i follow
where the water pulls me
into places that can't be
through the haze of this maze
this subaquatic place
where the fish swim through my eyes
open in perpetual surprise
eat the water, keep it down
and become one
with the nothing
that haunts everything
