Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Betty Be Floating

“I’m familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you on the a$$.”

—Jaws (Hooper)


idyllic setting.
   deep blue and Betty—
flotsam of the sea.
        submarine cruising—
its teeth for chewing
              curious mor-soul.
