Our bodies;

Home to so many creatures;

Microscopic

Psychologic

We are the captain of our ship;

Perpetual mutiny clashes upon the decks

And oceans fluctuate; ferocious, facile

Captain Ahab’s and our Moby Dicks;

More like Ismael; sole survivor;

The mariner gnawing forearm flesh

Scarlet drink – “a sail!” assail

The cursed tale-

Squint to see the beauty

While ugliness rears its hideousness like the

Flashing of a blinding Y shaped fin

Smashing the surface; rougher, rougher, tumult to the placid plane,

Previous without ripple

Cephalopod lashes its kraken limbs; suckers grip and pull;

Submerged….

Shark myth; Spielberg and “Jaws”

Everything plays on irrational fear;

The docile sea snake ; Satan’s servant

Life and Death gamble for the crew with loaded die

Like a scurvied sailor soused on rum

The albatross;

Be wary

Of the recourse pursued

When a seabird shits on you.
