Should Have Been a Dolphin
...should have been a dolphin
not human with a torn dress on
with dawn upon the door
seized by freezing rain
i'm human for nothing
over and over and again
a captive in a torn dress
...should have been a dolphin
Shivering next my will
...should have been a dolphin
eyes closed warm the cloudburst
sound the surf and swim the waves
fallible and threadbare
streamlined beneath a deluge
....should have been a dolphin
stead of being human
