The Cuttlefish Man
“In the older neighborhoods I have traced
A network of pipes long ago replaced
By much newer sewer and water lines,
And forgotten about—but I found the signs
Of their existence and at last I know
The hidden source of their poisonous flow:
Industrial owners who save some cash
By secretly dumping their liquid trash!”
