The Ocean and Its Empathy or Lack Thereof

Does the ocean ever think of us?

Are we ever a colonial thought within its foundation?

I think of aliens like 5 times a day

So to say that the ocean doesn’t think of us is unfounded

Parasitic? Cohabitators? Are we just an unknown?

Did we ever think to ask the ocean what it feels about us or is it because we don’t speak the same language that we shift the blame to their predatory natures

While ignoring ours

Does it understand how far and wide the land runs and that, although it’s the majority, we occupy space too

We call the ocean deep but there’s things on the surface that they too don’t quite understand

Does it understand how finite it is? That one day the water will run out and it too will be us

Do they not see the obvious within us?

That across its miles of blue transparency We are one and the same

So i ask again, does the ocean ever think of us?

No.

But it is us.

And that’s a comforting thought.
