at first,
i poked tiny holes in the bottom to let you in
slowly and with time.
but lately it seems someone is in a hurry.
i've been sleeping so well i didn't notice,
looks like someone has been shoveling pail after pail
of you into this boat.
never told you-
slowly i've been patching each hole
just to stay afloat.
if this keeps up, i'm sure to sink
and your waves will wash a set of stripped bones ashore.
