Wisdom's teeth


What will the dolphins do
with the buildings of Lower Manhattan
when the warming has gifted them
wild Wall Street and beyond?
Will they run the mortgage market
for the benefit of those underwater?
Encage the bulls and bears
in well-aired terraria?
Sponsor super-marathon swims
from the Camden shore to Herald Square,
and give the winners shopping sprees
in Macy's basement?
Or will dolphins too turn to tides of accumulation
and trash the few last years of our degraded Earth?
