Draining Waldo

[Paul]

you are my pet rock from grade 3
we were put into the rock tumbler of life
and came out shiny, but jagged
we are standing on the high dive
i could drop my heart or hate from here
they are both going to fall at the same rate
but instead let's drop each other
let's jackknife from this platform
and cut the water so deep
it bleeds oxygen
we'll hit the water like synchronized divers
and with single succinct smack
you could record and loop it to a porno
as balls hit ass
we are are floating to the bottom
watching the oxygen bubbles float up
like children who just lost their balloons
the drain is sucking us closer
you are in my gravitational field
we are orbiting something bigger than ourselves
its not clear quite what
the drain is blocking the answer
rocks play Where's Waldo in each others' reflection
Waldo is floating to the top inside of an oxygen bubble
free me from the cage women
release me back into the ocean
let the waves peel my exterior like a potato skin
i am smooth now
pick me up again
skip my core across the water
so I know what means to be on top
jesus-gecko me across this ocean
so i can be part god
and part animal
then leave me
let me decay
to sand
to dust
promise to shake me
every once in a while
good bye

I like some of the images in here (hitting the water like synchronized divers, and gecko me across the water--I really like that)

But I don't know who Waldo is and I'm not clear as to your relationship (as the author) with who or whatever Waldo is.

Waldo is my homeboy! I am not quite of my relationship with him either, its not clear. I think I miss him a lot though. Here is a picture of him. Thanks for the feedback
