I entered my home and found myself in a fish market
\nWhere I dipped my hand in a tub
\nAnd emerged with a fish, wriggling out of my grasp.<\/p>\n
A tiny bottle flew to my other hand
\nAnd I squeezed,
\nThe scent of sampaguita wafting to my nostrils.<\/p>\n
A door opened and I could swear that I saw my priest
\nLying on the bed, his innards on display,
\nHis faint Our Father floating towards my ears<\/p>\n
As I climbed down the stairs to the bottom of the ocean
\nWhere the bed was made of soft rocks.
\nI picked one, read about my future,
\nAnd somewhere, a ringing was telling someone
\nThat there wasn’t enough time
\nTo feast on the waterfalls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
