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

neither was I; <br />
Or, I could no longer be
</p>
<hr />
<b>To you <br />
</b>
<p>
Ive made markings on the shore <br />
Youll 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 />
Aint that like Snapchat without <br />
The electricity? <br />
You have… Twelve hours, <br />
Maybe?<br />
What?<br />
Youre 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 />
Youre busy clucking at the bus-driver while<br />
He jerks the bus perversely along?<br />
I dont trust<br />
You<br />
Nor your fickle<br />
Attention<br />
I- Ill 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 />
Ill pray to God
<br />
To make me his wife
<br />
Well marry, if He is willing
<br />
And then,
<br />
And then,
<br />
Ill pray for you,
<br />
That youll have food
<br />
When youre hungry
<br />
And water
<br />
When youre thirsty
<br />
And then,
<br />
I wont see you
<br />
I wont be on the SnapMap
<br />
You dont need to thank me
<br />
Im 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 Gods house,
<br />
Either)
<br />
Not a lioness of God,
<br />
Sylvia Plath said she was one,
<br />
And then she committed
<br />
Suicide
