In the silence whale sized shapes crest in and out of the darkness beyond the scope of headlights,
there are places to go and responsibilities to fill,
but the madness of Ahab is far, far, from dead.
chasing destruction or running from powerlessness,
I doubt even he knew.
Of course, Melville dedicated it to Hawthorne,
but he didn’t read it,
who would?
