Deep Dive Jive

flyingfish

Divin' Deep there's guttural
gurgles and burbling bubbles
Jivin' in the Respirator.
I dive deeper, still deeper
than I've ever been before.
The seabed is littered
with littoral lie-there's
just layin' about,
praying to be picked up
by some swim-on-buy kid like me.

It's a jalopy junk-yard down there.
Old shells long discarded by hermit crabs
looking for joyrides in new gigs,
and sporty convertible squats in RV's.
Shells discarded are great do-uppers
for crabs putting on some weight.
No one is homeless down there
for every shell discarded, 
is reborn to live the ever-after-life
decreed by need and lay-buys
in Davy Jones' Locker.

      very creative, a ride along
      with crawling shell's
      a drainage experience, of life
      worded: vividly poetic..
      thanks for sharing, dear poet
