Even the Sharks

Fingers tighten 'round the throat

Wide eyes bloodshot with desperation

Shaking a death rattle gurgle filled with a mucus covered cuss

Limp emptiness on the dock

a quick kick and into the tide

No one can bury you now

float out to where hungry sharks

wait

I despise that

Even the sharks deserve better

than you
