Ubiquitous Wanderings

By steve_j_1985

Of all my sunset-scrawlings,

This is the most meaningless,

As the water passes beneath me,

I wonder what it would be like if I were a fish.

I wouldn't have to worry about money, love,

And what the hell I did last night,

And all I would do is eat and shit.
