We are crab claws bones scattered on the sand
\nwashed up from the beach and returned to the master of sea;
\ndetached by the beauty that resonates from the deepest surface of ocean.
\n
\nWhere they throw us back onto dryland believing that they can give
\njust enough of what we want\u2014a veneer like salt to lassitude and distractions.
\nThough the sea is not our ruler who scribes out the future\u2014
\n
\nThey ask that the revolution will never raise a glass to those comrades
\nas they\u2019ve given us just enough of what we want\u2014
\nno longer do we think while we\u2019re mainlined into google chrome<\/em>.
