a dolphin's perspective
Swimming with Humans
by mermaids

clumsy, yet graceful
awkward limbs
bash about in my
watery home
I nudge her
she responds gleefully
happiness in the sea
humans, strange yet
familiar
no fins or tail
perpetual smile
a backflip gets
an aah from
this weird creature
she caresses my
smooth skin
kisses my nose
delighted in my
company
she evokes curiosity
in my senses
so I play and
have fun
with this land animal
minnows dart
back and forth
my turtle companion
swims away
we share the warm
water for many hours
until she is weary
leaving me to catch
up with my family
this odd mammal
gives me a long farewell
promising to return
for a day of
playfulness in the sea

Author Notes
I often wonder what dolphins are thinking when the swim with
us.
