Knee Deep by S.J. TylerRoll over my boots
Past my ankles
Sewage seeping through the tongue
Keeps rising
Thick foaming, slowly like dough
Slosh it around, kneed it
I need to get out
But Im stuck in the reeking sand
Pulling me in
Up to my knees
Knees deep in it
Shit!
Watch it silently still
Dont call for help
Just stay and watch
Dont fidget, let it take its own time
I have no time of my own
Its already eaten my watch
Hop level, hands in it though
I could use the rope you threw me
Havent even tried
Rope cant catch the detachment inside
Mind has cut off from motor skills
I could move if I wanted to
But I guess I dont care
Breast deep in this mess Ive created
And Im just going to stay there
