"The Glove and the Jellyfish" From the collection, "Tuesday Apocalypse" by Colin Read || Reade Collins (AliasRubyTuesday)
"Jelly Fish! Jelly Fish! Come with me We'll float together Out to the sea We'll go with the ebb And the flow of each day And let the currents Determine our way
From the troughs to the crests In perpetual motion We'll ride the great waves From ocean to ocean Recording our journeys In sinusoid traces We'll visit far seaports And exotic places"
"Oh, Glove! Dear, Glove! Can't you see That this relationship Never can be? For relying entirely On predestination May lead us to boredom And exasperation
You dream that adventure Will happen by chance - Serendipitous wonder In each circumstance - And though it sounds tempting I can't call it love For I am a jellyfish And you are a glove"
