I am an intrusion into a world

that isn't mine

Of clear blue water

of green and teal and

Coral

Feel air bubbles push, pull

between figertips

void of Scales

Identify the locals:

Squid and Sea Star and

Anemone

Breathe imported oxygen

Take pictures

of the locals

Feel their freedom

Feel

Free

In a world that isn't mine

I feel

Free
