gravelortian part 10

Now

A discussion of extreme versus classic

He preferred the classic

Classic trudge slow moving limping moaning

Just as scary

Extreme fast running too fast

40 days and 40 nights of dead rain

Falling like jaws full of white teeth

Jaws snapping at the empty air

Don't let the rain bite you

If it bites you it will turn you

Ran down the ramp to the dock

We all the living hide in the

Abandoned submarine

Close the hatch

Take the vessel under

We have been down here before

10 years ago improvised Jazz

Met Johnny who was 70 or 80

Probably now dead

Maybe trapped

Taking in water

Liquid clawing in from the cracks

You must take pleasure in drowning

Pressure from above the sides and below

We have been down

Not sure the first stanza adds much or even connects. I like the remaining stanzas very much.
