Eden Overpopulated
Aaron McEvoy
The final wave crashed along the beach
It turned our footprints into swimming pools
We swam and plunged under
We drank
Our gills wiggled
And yes, the seahorses were annoyed
She said something strange
""I think there's another life form above the water""
She said something strange
""These waves have all been scripted""
She said something
And yes, the seahorses were annoyed
But we found the treasure chest
We found the the scrolls
And in them, we found the secret
The secret that our novels left out...
We were never kicked out of the garden
We left.
