IN THE PROJECTS
Aquarium art, constructed from
That same, strange rough porcelain
Some otherworldly beast, her arms
At standstill, frozen -- ever terrible,
Untamed -- grips her victim indefinitely
Ocean's rugged lawmen, keepers
Of the peace -- one man down
One holds steady, holds his ground
Eternal battle, struggle for ocean's heart
Resting just a bit cockeyed on iridescent
Blue moonrocks, amid swaying greenery
Two goldfish twitch in casual laps
Around the tank -- big-eyed, alert,
Equipped with seven-second memories
"It's always something," sighs one
"We've got to change neighborhoods"
