Whale Contrasts Poem by Douglas Scotney
Whale Contrasts
After 'more character',
'pervading dignity',
'symmetry' and
'immense superiority'
in Chapter 74 of 'Moby Dick',
regretting not living
by the Sea of the Sperm
is this reader, who lives
near the Sea of the More-Boring Right,
the Great Australian Bight.
