You'd think you've been here before,

looking out at sea from the shore,

gripping your green bottle

by the neck.


You've carried a'bubbling in your belly

scary feelings, scalding hot like jelly

sticky, sour, and sweet

over shuffling feet.


You tell yourself to relax

steady your mind to the max

and you sit and ---

let that olden tensor flow.


By the neck

open that green vessel

looking out from sea at shore,

you wonder who will ever keep wanting more and more.
