grey-green oceans & your eyes

they say some people (far away)
nod No and shake their Yes
heads bobbing out a contradiction
a great barrier reef
outsiders all at sea

and maybe I am one of these
the folk who learned all strange
God knows that reading your expression
the waves crash down
can't breathe
and, sightless, grope to see

when signals broadcast miss their mark
and you nod (Yes) I shake
repression is communication
and honesty's a freak

the tide draws out
you (.) me (?)
I've always loved the ocean
