Bourgeoisie (Hawaiian Monk Seal)

Caught red handed

surfing the sea

this young monk seal

sneaking up on me

with big black eyes

as curious can be

coming in stealth

and fancy free

Such a confident posture

held to a T

with an attitude of

“you ain’t got nothing on me”

built like a torpedo

no common fish from the sea

I’m “native” to these islands

the original VIP

So if you see me basking on the sand

or laying on the reef

I acknowledge you

and you acknowledge me

space is what I desire

to live & be care free

try carrying “endangered species” on your back

and not behaving bourgeoisie
