The Cuttlefish Man
But when you’re scared your mind turns to mush—
Though it was clear to me that he could crush
My body in an instant if he wished;
It would be weeks before my bones were fished
From blocked-up filters at the treatment plant.
They’d mutter, “These remains are far too scant
To reconstruct, but now we know what clogs
Our drains—so let’s just throw them to the dogs!”
