Almost a haiku

It is one A.M.

I am depressed, on insta.

Oh, to lead their lives

Instead

    By wph

    I End My Day By Swimming.

    The lights in each of the doll houses are off.

    Among the grains of sand.

    When at last I reach the sea,

    I let it take me, 

    Dirt and grime and grease
