A lonely bottle

As the rain fell hard on the concrete ground
I flowed down the gutter
Through the gloomy gray pipes of the underground
I saw the pitch black of my surroundings
Then I went off to the contaminated rivers of the forest
I watched other discarded pieces like me swim around
Currents dragging them along
And soon the currents come for me
Dragging me down to creek
Down to the stones
And out to big blue bay
I watched creatures swim around
Inspect me
Stare at me
But not for long
A friendly turtle engulfs me
Down to its belly
My new journey begins
The creature will die from my disease
Soon to turn into something new
