son of sapiens asks if i can sleep i ask you this sapiens i am son of megalodon i stream through salt i and my siblings sapiens names fossils i could not sleep then and i could not sleep in the womb because my blood longed to drink my blood and i cannot sleep out of my mother water my eyes permanently open peering into the depths because to orca crocodile dolphin seal to all i am prey yet sapiens paints me as predator as he severs my fins from me and lets me sink into sea intestines and sapiens says it is okay because i feel no pain as if the water does not sear my flowering wounds and sting my gills and i do not lie there gasping because of his lies so i ask you son of sapiens if you can sleep and if so how can you sleep?
