Seashells

In the library I would look at books

And seashells, so near to shelves

Drowning in books.

At the time this seemed incongruous to me.

But now I see no incongruity

For the sea

Will, one day, sweep all this culture away

Leaving only shells.

    Ah yes, bivalves! Wonderful! Bravo! Now if you’ll excuse me, I must lie down and emotionally process the tragic demise of the stiff pen shell. 🐚😒
