Sharks & Dolphins
Leonard Cohen
is a
dolphin.
I’m a
shark.
We swim
the same
ocean.
Leonard jumps
thru hoops
& always
seems
to be
smiling.
People stroke
his nose
& feed
him small
fish.
I have
to stay
in constant
motion or
I die.
Occasionally
we cross
paths far
out at
sea.
Leonard streaks
along just
under the
surface.
I glide
further down
with the
grace of
a carnivore.
When the
moon is
full we
swim side
by side,
sometimes
as far
as Tahiti.
