essay: #024: Black Swan

Snorkelled with giant Sea Turtles.
On Great Barrier Reef.
Along spine of the Continental shelf.
Where aquatic life meets rainforest land.
And us, mankind.

Stood on a beach, devoid of ocean.
Went AWOL after dredging began, back in 1930s.
Now the tide comes in late.
And one day, soon...
Maybe not at all.



Saw crocodiles on river's edge.
Pythons sliding down trees.
And sailed on a boat, from South China seas.
Point break, in the ecological chain.
damn, it's beautiful.
