look, a dolphin

bored with
dolphins jumping
like black
parenthesis in
the blue sea,
you want a whale
or two
to appear, to
blow some steam,
perhaps a shark
to bare it's
sharpened teeth,
to make
the children scream,
or an octopus
with it's tentacles
holding
a surfer or three
in it's grasp.
where are the giant
squid,
the sting rays
and barracuda.
enough with the dolphins
and their
pretty little
grey snouts
honking like flipper.
