Underwater smoke, murky cliche`d depths,
a chapel abandoned and soaked white shores.

A city damned from the start,
cornered on a 'now' lake bed
and fed into a watery throat.

Sunlight sifting through like dust
enough to illuminate the
hollow bones of seven decades past
that still walk familiar boulevards to
that church, to
that general store, to
that school.

They're not supposed to be here,

and we turn away now faced with the fact
that murder is too commonplace
on this planet we've come to shape.
Full Title: The View From A Yellow Submarine.

Written OSAI 2006.
