Yes
We are all in the soup
you cling to a crouton
I doggy paddle this pool
tie a noodle round my waist
trying not to taste the days to come
when this broth will rise to a boil
stirred by savage kicking legs
that have no desire to see
amidst the pea, amidst the bean
the murky bottom of this tureen
Yes
we are all
in the soup
