Curiosity

An octopus with arms outstretching

along coral spans for prey to eat:

thus the mind searches, ever fetching

among deep fathoms a crabby meat,

cracking open the crustacean’s shell

with a relentless beak it must hone—

sensitive touch of foot-headed braille

exploring the alien unknown.
