Do Oysters Travel To Different Seas? Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Do oysters travel to different seas?
Or they just live grow and die to where they were born?
Do oysters see the vastness of the sea?
Or they are just contented opening their shells
Waiting for food to come in their way.


Glad I'm not an oyster,
or else I cannot cruise the Mediterranean or Caribbean or go to the nearby island,
and who chooses that a being will be a crab, an oyster or a human?
spare me,
don't make me an oyster in my next life!
