The Shark Poem by Carole Moran

The Shark



A shark, seeking prey
He moves in a way
Designed to draw looks from the crowd.

Unhibited. Driven
To get what attention
He can while his fleeting youth lasts;

So he doesn't get old
Unknown and neglected,
And die, leaving no trace behind;

Of his essence, of his power,
Of his frail egomania,
For posterity to learn from and bow.

(September 26,1993)
