Dear Ahab, What if You were a Zebra Hunter?

My browser windows

Are a modern widows walk.

Your beast is a great white mass of

Printed and bound pages.  Publication is

The difference between an author

And a writer.

A harpoon is your sinister pen;

What do whales know of chirality?

I’m a biochemist.

Dear storyteller, I’m too full of you

For porcelain knobs, boys

And this poem…
