By GENIE NAKANO
man on the corner
says worlds going to end
darkness prevails
get yourself ready
to be saved
ocean of cars
roar on top a free way
little planes buzz overhead
Maya says:
it’s all an illusion
in the depths
of the ocean, where
sun never shines
sea creatures transform
their bodies into light
