F R A G M E N T S Laid Out

why

I was lost.
For a time.
I was like an alien,
from mars,
On earth.
I had drifted far out in the ocean.
I Lost me.
   While
I,
was
lost,
there.

When I drifted from shore
I thought it was
Ok
Then as I got farther,
Farther,
Farther,
Away.
To where I could see rolling blue
All around,
No land.
I realized.
Somehow.
Someway.
I had to row back to shore.
Even though I didn't know,
Which way,
To go.
Before it was....
Too.
late.
