The city sits at the bottom of the sea,
the water’s weight bearing down like
the world on the shoulders of Atlas
but without the benefit of being a Titan.
He was punished for leading a war
against the Olympian gods for con-
trol of the heavens and I have been
feeling pretty rebellious myself due
to the frustration of not really knowing
my place in the big scheme of things
which is not unlike drowning, honestly.
