reaching for the sponge



reaching for the sponge

my mexican 
four-eyed octopus 

stops to consider his life 
on the rock 

the rock he shares 
with a porcelain crab 

and a feather duster 
worm 

he squirms when he tells me
it could be worse 

a leather backed doris 
and a sidegill slug


feather duster worms

    1. Pat, I think you might be confusing me with Ken Dodd.
