Observations at a Lobster Pound

When eating lobster
conversation becomes minimal
Diners concentrate
on breaking the hard shell,
sucking the meat out of walking legs,
squeezing a thin strip out of each fin
Life becomes one question--
what to save for last,
the body or one claw
Only then does talk resume--
slowing down the inevitable end
