Ode to the Immortal Lobster

Adrienne Stallings, Senior, English & Writing, Bedford, Texas

you’ll outlive

even me. england declared

you sentient recently. your

pincers crush ice as easily

as you’re boiled and steamed.

just a little salt, lemon, & butter

to achieve true

divinity.

dearest rock lobster,

chosen of Poseidon,

it would be fabulous

to have you over for dinner.
