Did
it always yearn for the ocean?
Seeing its wide expanse
pardiffle and fusculate
its large mammalian brain
Did Orca once say to aquatic gods
"What, lord, is my porpoise?"
and look to the nearest star
Echinodermata
of the Asteroidean constellation
slow, salty, ponderous
and wonder
"Are there worlds I have not conquered?"
