The Depths Are Not Meant For Us...

do not ever let that
submarine of thoughts
go deeper
than what is necessary
or required of
us

those depths
are not meant for us
mortals

and for this which is
made of
inferior metal
and flesh

for in there we shrink
like a paper box
pressed
against all its four sides
