my foot touched
almost water
more resistance though
dead creature, “poor thing” i said
“happens a lot, just look” paul told me
looked forward, saw all the jellyfish
washed up on the shore, next to sticks and cigarette
butts.

sat for a minute near the animal
we walk past because it happens a lot
experimenting a bit...

i can feel the ee cummings influence. i'm not sure how i feel about the parenthesis, and the reference to the jellyfish being little more than water took a second read for me to fully understand. the repetition of "animal/animal" doesn't flow without punctuation. i hate jellyfish. :)
