Life Jacket Poem by Zen Bojczuk
Life Jacket
Faceless friend of a friend is he.
Works on an oil rig in the North Sea.
Wears his life jacket as he is told,
knowing its sole purpose is just to hold
his frozen body above the icy waters.
Just one fall beyond safety's borders
and Death counts down the seconds.
Tough job ….but the money beckons.

Like this! Yeah I'm right near the North Sea, a most cold sea but guess if the money's right? HG: -) xx

WOW! You've startled this reader right back into reality of the North Sea! ! And how damned well you did it...now, I'm cold and seeing waves towering over my head, knowing that if I'm not picked out of the water in, what,3-5 minutes...that life jacket won't mean squat! This has to be read! It's that damned GOOD! ! xxElysabeth
