In me they wade.
In me they play.
In me they won’t stay,
Humans will come
And they will go.
The human will try to breath,
And they will succeed.
But I can let them know
How dangerous I can be.
One swift tug on your face
And out pops that tube.
The tube you use
That one that lets you breath.
Your lungs filling
With the heavy air
That presses into me
From above.
One quick swell
And I turn your world dark.
As dark as the air
That presses above me
Can get.
But for now,
Play in me.
For now enjoy my wonders.
You human,
Are a welcome guest.
For now.
