So the Dolphin Decided


Oh stupid scuba man
It’s you again.
Take your tank and flippers and get
Out of my natural habitat – besides –
National Geographic has already beaten you to it.

Of course I know how to speak English
You fucking moron – and if I felt
like being a battering ram today, I’d relieve
you of that ridiculous air contraption.  Yes –
I’d puncture that fucker just for the pleasure
of watching bubbles rise and burst brightly like
(what do you call that thing again…?)
a disco ball.  That’s right, it would be
a god-damned disco down here.
But you would never know
because you’re always running out of air.

You’d better get back to your boat before
my brothers (Frank and Joe) return. 
They've done hard time at Sea World, you know.
Furthermore, I have my own land gadget to test.
Yes – that’s right – I've decided to know
the feeling of dirt on my dorsal.
So I’ll put on my land-suit (designed to keep
my skin moist) and maybe I’ll come
observe you in your home/office/church.

But – I wouldn't hold my breath
(pun intended) because
my sonar senses tell me that the ground
isn't that fucking great after all.
