So you left a hole in the ocean

And it all leaked out

Now what?

Wring your hands a bit?

Triple your worry lines?

Or maybe ask a sage

How such destruction got in your soul?

Maybe

But here’s a thought

Just tell the truth

I mean

Finally tell the truth

Hear yourself say

That you can’t do

What can’t be done

Hear yourself say

That you couldn’t have done

What can’t be done

How about that

I mean

Rest in your shame

If you need to

And for as long as you need

Really

But before you do

Or as you do

Know what you didn’t do

Know that you did not

You absolutely did not

Drain the thing

You didn’t

You couldn’t have

Because

Not one ocean is missing

People are swimming in them as we speak
