Star Shark

He's wasted on the ocean -

This primordial fish deserves a bigger pool,

Perhaps he'll cut loose from the planet with a flash of his tail

Finding a blacker domain among the stars

 

His curiousity is piqued by a passing comet

Rowing faster, more directly than he

He surges upwards but the surface eludes him

Then he dives but goes on forever

 

And then it's feeding time - 

But circling the hull of a planet  

And smelling not a soul onboard

He goes home to the comfort of

His feeding tank on Earth
