Kate Orff, Kate Orff

behold the source of

Katydids katydiding

and seascapes easing,

seas ceasing to seize

as they come upon what Katy did.

Currents break up on islands of rock

strategically placed by she

who would tame the rising wrath of the sea

and seed it with oysters instead.

That’s what Kate Orff did.

Katy did it.

(Where is your center, grasshopper?)
