The crab
out on the piss
the night before
wakes to find herself
in an ever
dwindling rockpool.
The sun
an angry hangover.
Hung over
thel edge
she attempts to
claw her way out
scuttle away
only to find herself foiled
her path
to the sea
cut off
by the tiny giant humans
armed with squeals & sticks
bravado & fear.
'Outtamyway! '
she snaps
heading for the sea
oh so far...away!
