Poetry from the Blue Break Room 5

Pushups
Camouflaged
Adolescents in rank
Furious instructors in black
The earth
Suddenly gets closer, then farther, then closer, then farther.
It is an earthquake, and the ocean pours over it
with salty water.
Suddenly, the ground stops moving,
and the wind stops howling.
Watch the menial labour of the ants below.
