Drifting on Metaphors

Left
Adrift
Gasping
Right
Ahead
Reaching

Looking aft
See waves
Batten down
Hard impact

This storm takes
I can’t give
Barely staying afloat

Shaking off metaphors
Grin and nod
Make polite conversation

This party
So farcical
People preening
Feeling superior

Drift
Dream
Smile
Almost
Endure
Escape
