They commandeer the ship -- judge and then
Experience what you've judged, if not with
Judgement. The gulls echolocate,
The white dolphins glow from the boat
Jumping in lines of 5, 3, sometimes two
When the girl in purple sequins says "da,"
The whale whisperer from Hanover, Germany.
The whale whisperer from Hanover, Germany.
Ships cross like squad cars on 223rd Street
By the Yellow Basket and Grace Laundry,
The container ship churches of Carson,
The watched porches that don't deliver,
The gas field mission style housing still holding
Down lives, the home, says the sign, of the Torrance
Tartars, last residue of Tartaria if not the Beach Boys,
And Avalon, to buy King Arthur gluten-free flour.
