Genesis Ship
Noah commissioned a wee dove as his ocean scout
It ventured out three times seeking sprigs of life
on the third try it brought back hope to mankind.
I would have chosen an albatross for the task
with its great wingspan suited for sea voyages
It could have done the deed in half the time.
Perhaps the dove was more efficient and intelligent
maybe the albatross lacked focus and discipline
been tempted by the sirens of fog and froth.
Did it feel spited in the shadow of the Genesis ship.
Who am I to question a blessed man
who built an arc and refreshened mankind.
