lyrics

Shamu was the last one of us with a landline
and the wires went waterlogged and finicky
Shamu exists in our conversation
and conversation has dried up
Shamu
is
google-able
The infinitely indexible Shamu!
Shamu, the tank-sized figment
circling our collective mind
The imaginary leap onto the trainer's back
and out to the plains
to the mountains
where the dorsal fin is a peak to climb
To admire through the haze of too-far-not-true
A sailboat riding through the rock and ice
collecting the sun.
