A winter's night,a creature, strange & brightappeared upon the porch in a dark storm. The minister said,"It's clearly mad in the head—pay it no mind, it'll go away." You & I were thinking about a placebelow the sea,with stinging anemone,coral, bright & white.& I was on a fast train to a deep oblivion. You didn't try to stop me; no, you askedto come along. Come take the lightof creatures of the deep;electric eels are fun, but tend to bite. Oblivion,it rhymes with Vivian.Rust-red things look gray beneath the deep. You & I were thinking about a decommissioned sub,a place submarine,we'd live life so serene. We were on a fast train to a drunk oblivion—you bravely took my hand & we went merrily along. Jets & boats,always found them fine. The creature on the front porch can't unwind. The sea captain said,"I'll fix him up with this:gin & quinine keeps away malaise." We were crossing English channelsin Victorian timesin midget submarineswith parasols & twine.& I was going under in some deep oblivion;you bravely took my hand& sweetly came along.
