The Bottlenose

Shimmering gray
Bottlenose, bottlenose
Slick and smooth
Graceful
Tricky
Hard to catch
Harder to hate
Shining diving
Bottlenose, bottlenose
Chilly skin
Against my palm
Breathe in
Out
In
Out
Gliding past
Before I can even
Gasp in wonder.
Splashing water,
Bottlenose, bottlenose
Soaking to the bone
For a lifetime,
But never once wonders,
Why
We don't have time
To stop and wonder
To busy having fun
To worry about
Bottlenose, bottlenose
