Poem by Eugene Gladstone O'Neill Submarine MY soul is a submarine. My aspirations are torpedoes. I will hide unseen Beneath the surface of life Watching for ships, Dull, heavy-laden merchant ships, Rust-eaten, grimy galleons of commerce Wallowing with obese assurance, Too sluggish to fear or wonder, Mocked by the laughter of waves And the spit of disdainful spray. I will destroy them Because the sea is beautiful. That is why I lurk Menacingly In green depths. Eugene Gladstone O'Neill Eugene Gladstone O'Neill's other poems:
