The Commute

Mr. Crab, have you had a long day at work?

Have you missed your current? The bus back down to the bottom?

Oh- Mr. Crab, I see your blue twill suit and red tie. You seem disturbed. Stressed.

Floating around the top of this crystal clear turquoise water shining in the shimmer of manmade lights.

I can't see the bottom? Can you?

It's late, Mr. Crab. Almost midnight.

Won't the kids be crying, the wife gone mad?

It's a long way down yet, to the bottom. To the sand that you call home.

I do hope you catch your current, I see you struggle.

One... two... three...

Good, Mr. Crab, you're on your way down.

I do hope you make it home soon, this area isn't safe.

Two barracudas just swam by, keep your wallet held tight.
