I'd complain my way through the tunnels of eternity.


Oh, turritopsis nutricula jellyfish,
Do I envy you or pity you?
To be alive forever, with headaches,
With women, with politicians, with
Dirty “Home Sweet Home.”
But, living forever, in the sea
Floating along, maybe it suits
You. Me, I think I'd just
Complain my way through the
Tunnels of eternity.

This is a poem about my conversation with a species of jellyfish that is said to be biologically immortal.
