earth note 840

gray cold just above zero
snowflakes fall listless

you're looking for a shortcut
of a couple thousand miles

to a square grouper
but then the barracuda speaks

and it's best to leave the perimeter
every predator has a price

you're in no hurry to pay
wait for the ocean to go flat

follow the manta ray shadows
as they grow toward sunset

you never expected to hear
a jimmy buffett song

but you will
about an abraham lincoln brigadista
