A Scratch in the Building’s History
A scratch in the building’s history
may reclassify the Greenland shark
under an odd but new look and ready
to set out in a small boat—man-eating
tendencies freshly beaten—similunate
tail and caudal keen—words
you can’t unpack but magically uphold
seal, squid and salmon rush. All the numbers
you will likely scour, puzzled over by
what the historic record indicates.
A Merlin-esque interdisciplinary spelunking
and the countryside of tall apartment blocks—
unique blends of the depths of the oceans—
a new age of chivalry recast in eggs, shallots,
sage, and toast. What set off against the one ajar,
against the sudden stop change navigates?
