A Shanty

grim grimmer 
grimmest
missed the boat now 
swim it

your meaty heart will 
mute sink
rocks in your head grind
in' think

the tide doesn't turn 
it rolls
under water dred
ging souls

pressure to go up 
and rise 
"Those were pearls that were 
his eyes"

drift down sink far 
be done
dry land was never 
any fun
