Dolphin
sleek as a torpedo
the laughing dolphin leaps
his voice vibrates thro' me
like fluid enlightment
squeals of childlike delight
accelerated grace and an
underlying open curiousity
draws him to me
And speeds him from me
at subtle danger 
We are alike
We surface to breathe
the same air
We move through
the same water
But I am a hybrid.
Plastic fins and snorkel
bright eyes hidden
behind the distance
of glass.
