Oysters in your ocean bed
do not stir a weary head
unless you, in restless wonder
wander far too far instead

The carpenter has buttered
his thick slice of bread; each side
The walrus has not stuttered
and his plan he's not denied

Two by two; shucked from their shell
off to an untimely hell
off to the belly of the beast
to a darkened void so deep

deeper than the ocean floor
