                                                        and here it is...
                                                        without effort
                                                        without explanation
                                                        a gradual growth of leakings from some tired soup
                                                        a mess laid up like jellied bricks
                                                        and growing with each spill
                                                        each splash
                                                        each desperate attempt
                                                        at fun
                                                        at efforts to divert
                                                        avoid
                                                        convince imaginary listeners
                                                        ourselves
                                                        or anyone
                                                       
                                                        of the significance of ants
                                                       
                                                        to hide as best we can
                                                        the reason for each spill
                                                        each splash
                                                        to cover up the struggle of our drowning

Would be delighted to find out what thoughts you had while reading this... not interpretations of my words, but what the words got you to think about.
(Though off or on-topic remarks, clever abuse, response poems, and criticism are welcome as well.)
First thing that came to my mind after reading this was how everyone holds a mask of their own. Many people don't express what they're going through and keep it to an internal battle and this poem made me think of that and how this poem relates to the internal battle that people face on a day to day basis.
