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

|  | <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 | ||||||
