Subject(s): Hunting; Irony; Lobsters; Seashore; Hunters; Beach; Coast; Shore
Do ghost lobsters mock this scrap,
Once a well-made lobster trap?
Shall I ever laugh to naught
This strange trap where I am caught?
Are you held by tide and shore,
Earth-bound, moon-caught, evermore?
Answer, old indifferent sea,
Knowing lobsters, traps, and me.
