operations and undercurrents over * off paper

new slang: furvole

i have wanted to capsize 
and be so cold, submerged so 
that my legs and face are voluminous underwater
with tissue paper fish frisking the length i have 
tearing into freckle-sized squares 
and freezing to my skin

coming up smiling
hair between teeth, i would polarize the boat
and have a compass, round acorn shell (halved)
hovering and gutting above me

would i float, with full stretch in effect? mouth be a great bay at last!
working with the tide, funneling light to the blind sea beasts who work best
at -3,000 meters? they hanging a lantern, fine silk cords,
particles of matter they pull to surround
and apparently have no guts///

it should be memorized!
