Shark Week

by John Rocco

Watching endless Shark Week shows

on shark bites and attacks and anatomy

I learn some important facts:

Sharks have two sex organs,

the second one a back-up

if the first fails.

Sharks have violent sex

often biting, tearing

huge chucks of flesh

off each other. You can

see the marks on many

of them.

Sharks will die

drown

if they stop moving.

The shark has a third

eyelid that closes over

the blank shark eye

during frenzied feeding.

I don’t know why

but these shark facts

make me think of the

time this beautiful

Chinese girl said to me:

“I don’t love you.

I just want you to

fuck me…

haaaaarrrrrrdddddddd.”
