Arching racers of barracuda

Arching racers of
barracuda
coming round the reef
silver fast in unison
chasing each other first
he speared a fish
with parrot beak
enameled azure blue
dappled like a sunset
these swimmers never see
Giant clams are hermaphrodite
and win at scrabble every time
snapping jaws slow at first
faster when breaks the air
