The Great White

The ocean’s darkness reveals only the shark’s teeth.

It moves

and slowly its perfect structure becomes clear.

Effortlessly, the solitary creature grazes the open waters.

It travels

lacking fear and unquestionably possessing its instinctual purpose.

It’s powerful and its unmistakable shape haunts its accidental audience.

In an instant

it can change direction and replace its calculated strategy for action.

The patient observation of its victim is over.

It’s skillful

and an expert of its function.
