The fish walked the shores

The fish walked the shores,

and humans swam the seas.

Like inequality and oppression,

it made no sense to me.

The waters climbed slowly inward,

and the moon relinquished its hold.

Like growing out of ignorance,

the world was not what I'd been told.

The waters rose like trees,

and sea foam splayed like leaves,

and suddenly all I knew,

made no sense to me.
