In Different Waters (NaPoWriMo 2022 #19)
Where do I swim?
Literally nowhere.
Figuratively,
in so many
oceans;
often rivers
of some sort of art
that flowed
from someone,
Nourished by the flow
the stream of sensing,
that rippled
something within me.
Often I ride
on the crest
of a wave
of emotions,
invoked by moments
coursed and sourced
from a place
intangible,
so difficult to explain
to others who only gasp and gulp at
who only know metal and plastic
and not the sea of similes.

Entry 19 for NaPoWriMo 2022.
Almost called this 'And this is why I'm a Pisces' in response/inspiration to https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/447083-there-s-a-reason-i-m-a-pisces/ by Northern_Soul (-Missy-). I think this title has a better flow to it.

Really cool. Took me on a ride down byways that I recognize intimately.
