BOMBSHELL
so much life
surrounding me
desirous
of investing me
before
the night is over
I’ll probably find
myself
stripped
to the bone
down
to my core
even before they get
to lug me to
the graveyard
screw me down
in my coffin
talking about life
commerce between creatures
predators prey
opportunistic strikes
best
evolution
on a You Tube video
was astonished to see
a much
critiqued young lady with
monster flippers and
aqualung
frolicking amongst
tiger sharks in the sea
off Hawaii
same species that savaged
the sailors floating
in the ocean beside
the torpedoed
Indianapolis
heading to the depths of
the Pacific to
a now long-
forgotten grave
doom
shadowed ship that
the Japanese had
been stalking
on its return to
home port after
slipping into
Tinian
as per schedule, to drop
off the bomb
