the travel log
must be extraordinary
for the seabirds
that return to the middle
and to give up
that briny shore and
salty ocean breeze
where primordial life
once poured out of
for the middle
where one must follow
a tractor and plow
to scrounge in the earth
for whatever may crawl
or wriggle out to sacrifice
itself for dinner
instead of plunging into
endless deep blue waves
for a pound of silvery fish flesh
one must question
the reasoning behind
this seasoning travel
