One day
when we are all living
under the ocean
in coral houses
because the air above
cannot be breathed
and we have
mutated
to grow gills and
webbed hands and
webbed feet
and we fill our bellies
with seaweed
and shellfish
and tell stories
to our scaly children
about how their ancestors
breathed air
and lived on land
and even
used fire
to cook
maybe then
we will realise
Underwater Lament
