Shallows For The Shellfish Poem by Saiom Shriver

Shallows For The Shellfish



An unsolicited package
arrived in the neighbor's mail.
It contained a living lobster
nearly frozen, packed in ice
sent hundreds of miles in a dark box.
They prepared the boiling water
and dropped him in.
It is said that fish don't
scream when they are suffocated,
but this lobster shrieked
and propelled himself out.
They took him to the seaside
and let him go.
