April - National Poetry Month

M, I just had to share this gem by Richard Brautigan (you may remember him from Willard and His Bowling Trophies).

The Symbol
Richard Brautigan

When I was hitch-hiking down to Big Sur,
Moby Dick stopped and picked me up. He was driving
a truckload of sea gulls to San Luis Obispo.
"Do you like being a truckdriver better than you
do a whale?" I asked.
"Yeah," Moby Dick said. "Hoffa is a lot better
to us whales than Captain Ahab ever was.
The old fart."
