Texas

Five places

One twice the size of Texas

In the middle of the drink

Circling in its current

Each our own resistance

But all in the same, the same direction

There's plaque at the axis

I would've been content to sit at the rim

But I paddle and pant like a dog

Away from what I think is the middle

The middle has no bone

But it's strong enough to keep you there

Sustainable waste won't give you a seat at the rim

It will swallow my body but I don't belong to it
