Add one more poem
I reproduce this poem 'cause I like it and 'cause MG, an older lady, said it was profound, if I remember correctly

| <hr /> | ||||
| <b>To you <br /> | ||||
| </b> | ||||
| <p> | ||||
|   I’ve made markings on the shore <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You’ll have to go there, before <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|  the next time of high-tide, <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| If you want to see it - <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You know the sea will devour it <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Ain’t that like Snapchat without <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The electricity? <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You have… Twelve hours, <br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Maybe?<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| What?<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You’re avoiding the beach,<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You want to see it on the SnapMap<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| While you commute on a public bus,<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| And even then,<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You might - might - decide not to give the SnapMap<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Any attention,<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You’re busy clucking at the bus-driver while<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| He jerks the bus perversely along?<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| I don’t trust<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Nor your fickle<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Attention<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| I- I’ll thank God<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| For the sea<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| For the sun<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| For the wind<br /> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| For the sand | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| For the little child, shrieking in delight | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| As the waves roll in | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| I’ll pray to God | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| To make me his wife | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| We’ll marry, if He is willing | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| And then, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| And then, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| I’ll pray for you, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| That you’ll have food | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| When you’re hungry | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| And water | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| When you’re thirsty | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| And then, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| I won’t see you | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| I won’t be on the SnapMap | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| You don’t need to thank me | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| I’m your (unworthy) servant, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| A hopeful wife of God, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| Servant of God, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| Child of God | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| (I don't mind being | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| A door-keeper in God’s house, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| Either) | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| Not a lioness of God, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| Sylvia Plath said she was one, | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| And then she committed | ||||
| <br /> | ||||
| Suicide | ||||
