They live in two-sided
boxes,
        play checkers on
one square.

        Speak to themselves,
        tongueless but
undoubtable.

Lie anyway,
                lay anyhow.

      On seafloors,
      are sunken but
undrownable.

      Who drowns anyway
      when there is so much
more

      to lose?
