Ocean Blue – Mercury

Quietly, almost elusively

Almost invisibly,

I found that I

for a moment

Had slipped away.

Ripped in two, then pasted back again,

Then crumpled up inside,

Then tossed aside

you know that

It feels so bad.

oh Mercury

oh Mercury

Happened once, then it

happened twice,

Then it happened thrice,

And now a fourth?

You know that?

Quietly, almost elusively

Almost invisibly,

I found that I

for a moment

Had slipped away.

oh Mercury
