beach life!

How is it? I dunno. Ok I guess

A bit bleached,
bleak, beached and hugely-heaving
lungs, suffocating under
one's own weight and waiting
for some crowd of bystanders to come
with cameras and cries for first-responders
from the stranding center to show up
and do something, except

- with the certain knowledge that there are no stranding centers

staffed with committed and altruistic experts
versed in the rescue and re-immersion of humans,

stranded up metaphorical beaches,
pretending

to have washed upon them
