Or any sea life? Did they even notice
World War Two? Dolphins jumping
and mating and eating and pause,
captivated by the spectacular show,
Pearl Harbor Bombing. To be a sailor,
a horror, but a porpoise delight? Or
what of the artic waters, hungry fish,
blessed with the bounty of the Titanic
sinking, sinking, sinking down to caverns
of the ocean floor, a new home,
complete with smorgasbord, feast.
Do the crabs look beady eyes up
and clack claws and "human walk"
for each other? Seagulls flying over
battlefields, above bullets, did they know
war by feel, taste, or smell? Did they pick a side?
Do they pass that knowledge down, baby boy,
fly ABOVE the bullets, they are killing each other,
and not us for once? Or did they think nothing of man
and his petty grievance with each other,
think nothing of the day, or moment?
they just flapped their wings and beat their beaks,
and just as time will, pass they fly far, far away.
