Shark Week...

...is being caged in tempered steel
Submerged grave-deep
Into the cerulean salty sea
As I bleed from the heart
I hold in bare hands
My life depends
On these bars I've soldered
From thoughts in silicon chips
And heavy tears of lead
Dragging me
To the silt of the bottom
Where amoeba will feed off of me

I've been here for six whole days
Anchoring a rusty ship
To the endless blue
Gills are beginning to sprout from my neck
As the fish all crowd around
To scream in rising thought bubbles
But I'm not giving up for science
