in the clammy deep
to the left of the curious rock lobster
on the bank steep
the faintest voice whispered into a
wiggly bubble
a which henceforth
upon surface- bursting
revealed: "Brian J Potter
common sense dictates:
float"
and then life's mysteries
shall be laid upon your door step
somehow
to the right of the New York Times
when the debris settles
You will less see than sense
clarity's imprimatur
that: "common sense is not so common"
