Suspended in an ocean of
sameness, blue deepening
to black below, colors
cease to exist. There are no
corners, few extraordinary
moments except when we
unexpectedly survive an
encounter with very large
teeth. Rays of sunlight cut
the surface like golden
glass, marine life breaking
through in great shimmering
pods. These sightings occur
at odd times, when we may or
may not recognize our
singular insignificance. They
give us a perspective of
scale.
Not Quiet Any More
