|
To stub an oar on a rock where none should be, |
To have it rise with a slounge out of the sea |
|
|
Is a thing that happened once (too often) to me. |
But not too often - though enough. I count as gain |
|
|
That I once met, on a sea tin-tacked with rain, |
That roomsized monster with a matchbox brain. |
|
|
He displaced more than water. He shoggled me |
Centuries back - this decadent townee |
|
|
Shook on a wrong branch of his family tree. |
Swish up the dirt and, when it settles, a spring |
|
|
Is all the clearer. I saw me, in one fling, |
Emerging from the slime of everything. |
|
|
So who's the monster? The thought made me grow pale for twenty seconds while, sail after sail, |
The tall fin slid away and then the tail. |
