the baloney of the sea

i can't say i love
lobsters, like some people do,
women in particular,
but on occasion i'll buy a tail
or two, steam them
and lather them in butter
or lemon.
they used to be the baloney
of the sea, but
somehow they've raised
themselves up to be
the filet mignon.
it's a study in self esteem,
how even the lowliest of creatures
can change their image
with a little butter.
