From a page in a Lego catalog

Skeletons


Aren’t we all descending
Exploring the depths
Swimming for sunken treasure
Clamping mouth to hold breath
Watching out for skeletons?

Aren’t we all avoiding
The green snake, mouth agape
The giant squid, a snappy crab
The pressured floor, currents
And throned skeleton?

Aren’t we all loaded
Breathing lungfulls of algae
Combing ancient sea troves
Buried and we're scraping
Scraping sand like skeletons?
