Stormy Seas & Station Breaks

I'll take a swim
     in never winning
I'll be drowned and fade to black
           Resurface
Cracks
           keep growing wider,
glimpse those gulfs through hair still damp

Whilst submerged
          and pulled by currents
to the place I always stay,
          you said you had a million good ones
But the days, I fear, are numbered
     quite a little less than that.

I'm hearing lies--
     the ones I'm telling--
Hissing snow shocked 'cross your screen
          The static
Cracks;
          it's all you're seeing
and there's nothing on TV.
