Supermarket Lobsters
what can they discern
through stalky eyes
beyond the glass tank
shopping carts vague
and silvery sliding by
like big blocky codfish
under fluorescent hum
what tiny synapses still
recall the rilled seabed
such expanse to carve
out territory to scrabble
for a mate in a glorious
green-dark pressured
plankton-rich broth not
just this anemic saline
swirled by the bubbling
rock in the corner no
room not to touch each
other thumbs cramped
from the bandings can

tugs from the crescent
moon that orbits far
beyond these thin cold
light tubes above what
