struggling or becalmed

This man is telling you that it is raining.
resistance - blind, dogged, desperate,
a rehearsal in my hotel,
almost anything you want,
these things were of equal weight.

other oceans compare
days, events intimately connected
only records of arriving
will note their comings & goings.

Shallow edges would recede
when a boat splits open on
heads which explode with heavy rains.
the powerful forces present in large structures
bring it to safe harbor
until the boats are safely beached beyond
the answer that could, and often did,
in a word vary slightly
would trade hopeless fragments
its processing would gain, and
artifacts of little value would own history.
