to grace and mercy



water is murky and turbulent

and i lack the tail of a sea horse

to dance for joy with a partner

or to anchor self in my new house



neither do i have the advantage

to carefully camouflage like a chameleon

as i loiter among the many predators

lurking with strength and big numbers



hence i turn to grace from high above

and mercy of the conservationists

themselves struggling to retain sanity

in this arrogant insane community
