The DrinkOh, and one end rhyme.
A lobster boat sails circles
on the waves expressing
boundless but temporary
ownership of ocean—
its owner only draws
these rounds to make a living.
While downing Early Times
with Mooseheads in the Thirsty
Whale the other night,
he griped about that very
matter: "The depths we go
to net one lousy buck."
He didn't need to sketch
Nathaniel any details.
Each one inherited
his business, knowing almost
everything there is
about those bitter waters:
pilots lost at sea,
sternmen tangled in
a length of line while gear
drags them below, wholesale—
or thick-skinned creatures trapped
within that stinking Whale.
