The ocean's getting hot babe
so dip your toes into the fish fry
while were inside blasting AC
the TV drones on saying we're all gonna die,
I don't think this is the season to burn
when eggheads are drying their sweat
on college degrees
and mid-twenties something "U up?" texts,
"Terrible times" my friend says
blistering in the holes of ozone
reaching for that sunblock
so you bet I can tell God that the end of days is postponed,
I'm in the zone
just not the demilitirazied one
asking for a blindfold before I'm told
that I've been dealt the shot
and I can see now that the blood's dryed and gone cold,
This picture is a dark one
in which the sun looks like a black spot
in the midst of decisions
wishing for a new universe
devoid of the human condition
but I'm over it now
since the TV's melting in fission
plopping popcorn in my mouth
with a bright glowing heap of tension
' 'The ocean's getting hot
'
'The ocean's getting hot babe
so dip your toes into the fish fry' frightening in its power, talent, and truth With my fellow theists I say God have mercy...
