Sea Party
minnows swerve,
sweet sparkles of charm,
shoal quick,
a gossip soft as anemones,
sneaky as fronds.
crude then,
from obscene jaws,
wide as sperm whale,
or defensive as crab shell
over wet martinis
on the rocks.
tentacles feast
on the angst in the claws,
cracking their sarcasm
to blend it with roe
or salmon pâté.
night soon lists.
shadows
crowd out surface.
hints of wolf eel
and shark.

Folks as bad? No. They're even worse. But I'm not worse and you're an owl (so you're already excused). But I like owls. They are wise. Or so it was written in my ABC book: O is for Owl a wise bird.

I have a working hypothesis that the answers to all worthy questions are presented quite obviously in children's books somewhere.
ReplyDeleteDr. Suess's "The Lorax" being a prime example.
Unfortunately, I am not one of those evolutionarily successful owls, whose lineage dates back 65 million years. Hence, the "Wise" appellation doesn't apply to me.
