poor scrawny blue
canoe shuffles
to shore,
as rocky teeth graze
its stressed
floor,
leaving pores where
none breathed
before,
now docked and hollow,
waves strain to nudge
the hull awake,
a few hairline leaks
plunged its nose
into the drink
so pleased i’ve this
bright a tale
to tell,
++++
about a wrecked
ship’s refusal
to sink.
Cheering Shoreman!
