The Sea Urchin

The Sea Urchin at Home,
Never alone,
In the tidal pool zone,

Prickly and free,
Nobody bothers me,
Unlike you fools fighting for coffee at three.

I sit on my throne,
A rock of my own,
While you battle for Wi-Fi and overpay loans.

Deadlines? Promotions?
Your frantic emotions?
I’ll pass — I prefer drifting slowly with the oceans.

No ties, no shoes,
No rent, I must lose,
Just a spike here or there if you give me bad news.

So enjoy your commute,
Your overpriced suit —
I'll be here, living lazy and giving no hoot.
