FUTILITY

Erica Stux

I scrub spills and scuff marks off the
kitchen floor, only to find more the next day.

A slippery seal, fur slicked by an oil spill.
was caught by humans and cleaned up, at a
cost of eighty thousand dollars.
Spectators cheered upon its pristine release.
Cheers turned to gasps, when a killer whale
surfaced and seized the hapless seal.
