Deeplining

The whole world wants for nothing,
And nothing’s in hot pursuit.

It’s almost unbearable
To add up all humans do,

But there are two strategies,
One of which most people use—

You can divide humans up,
Like chefs dividing fugu

To separate mild tingling
Like musk from what poisons you.

Or you can drop your line deep
To see all the deep can do,

To see how human toxins
Rose out of the deepest blue,

Where the world wants for nothing,
And nothing’s in hot pursuit.
