Be careful how you use
your talking claw.
The more shit
the bigger it gets, taking more
and more and more of what you are
to keep on top of it.
Of course words count
unless you plan to tell the world
exactly what it lacks
according to you
over and over
in detail
another Ahab
ranting at the whale
talking crab.
