Swimming in a Sea with Emotion

Wrestling the octopus
One tentacle under control
Another takes hold
One grasps your wrist
You peel it off
One wraps around your rib cage
You wriggle free
One slips around your neck
You detach it
One slithers around your thigh
You slip through its grip
One grabs your ankle
You kick it away
One encircles your shoulder
And tries
To pull you under
