The Diver I think I’ll stay down here Where things are simpler. Men I trained Gaze down into the green water, Waiting for me to surface With the first body. They know I’ll let them Know if there’s trouble. There’s no trouble. The man and woman are still In their seatbelts. They look like they think They might still get Where they were going. I climb into the backseat Like a hitchhiker. The girl looks at me Wonderingly. Now is the time I should rise With her through leagues Of lightening water. I used to believe air Was the heaven of the drowned And we divers their angels. But I’ve decided to stay down here Where things are simpler.
