Analysis of Waves
Nick Lind 1990 (Newburyport, Massachusetts)
Rolling waves are water caves,
Up and down they twist around,
Super sonic looping maze,
Flooding down on muffled sounds,
Blueish grays with seaweed haze,
Swallow down this liquid ounce,
Rolling waves are water caves,
Up and down they twist around
