I swam

Today, I walked not

but swam past wounded fish, 

That crawl on the hard waters of life.

I swam, nonchalantly carefree; for I was drugged

with a scent unknown, which had my senses blown, 

Thus I swam, with eyes closed whilst

millions of wounded fish crawled past me, 

But there was no blood to see.

Just misery gushing out of their gills.

Yet nonchalant, I swam, 

breathing in the scent I swam.

Shoving them aside, 

With a mood light, I swam.

The harder I swam, the stronger got the scent, 

Then I reached the dead end, 

But the mother of the scent was nowhere to see.

I smelt myself, the scent was in me.
