Boogers At Sea

That ship has sailed,
now it’s boogers
at sea.

Breaching
with the whales
that slam down onto
crimson dreams.

The diving squid
like tentacles in a hurry.

When the dig dig captain 
goes looking for treasure,
it’s mutiny snots down
through the ranks.

Gonna harpoon me
one of those real
big suckers.

Pose for pictures
back on dock
like some master
of the universe.

Get barnacle sticky
real fast.

So the booger schools
will take me in
as one of their own.
