A dead starfish on a beach <br />He has five branches <br />Representing the five senses <br />Representing the jokes we did not tell each other <br />Call the earth flat <br />Call other people human <br />But let this creature lie <br />Flat upon our senses <br />Like a love <br />Prefigured in the sea <br />That died. <br />And went to water <br />All the oceans <br />Of emotion. All the oceans of emotion <br />are full of such ffish <br />Why <br />Is this dead one of such importance?<br /><br />Jack Spicer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-mac/
