Out of Our Depth

Crab found impaled on a bush at Sea Point Beach
CC Jean Stimmell: 3/23/18

As a crab, snatched by a seagull,

is ripped out of its depth,

so too are we,

as Trump’s prey,

being yanked up

 from our depths,

destined  only

 to be dropped,

dashed upon the

sharp edges of
our worst dreams
