A man reached into an orange sea,
  maneuvered 'round fluffy sailing
ships and deep wave complexion;
    pulled from it a message
corked    within a glass bottle
        from Boyhood.

Popped off the cork brown    to a
    scent of scorching wheat fields,
        buzzing rubber,   and 
moist lawn residing in crumpled
        paper.

A sniff or two led
ice caps to melt,         diluting
    the sea.    dark blue bled pro-
fusely so he launched it towards
          a gurgling cesspool of  dreams.
