I wonder if the bauxite miner
And the sturgeon know
That their respective contributions to the economy
In salty eggs and the base ingredients of aluminium
Will be combined in tube form
And spread on toast in Norway
–
Does the existence of such tubes have meaning
Does their design
Which I like for some reason
Speak to a great truth
About me
About the caviar Norwegians like
–
If it does
It it speaks to some profound truth
Tubes being meaningful that is
Should I be worried
Would it worry the bauxite miner to know
I’m sure the sturgeon is nonplussed either way
