“A Cephalopod Wish by Stewart Stafford
O, to be an Octopus,
Sporting three hearts,
Two that won't break,
To go on and love more.
O, to have its nine brains,
To spread a migraine load,
Fogless coordinates clear,
A tower fire, now contained.
O, to have a boneless form,
A body fitted to life problems,
Not ail from a tumour's grasp,
Flee to safety in inky clouds.

“If the students were taught about shuttle flights, plate tectonics and submarine volcanoes, they were also immersed in the traditional myths of their culture—the ancient story, for example, of how the island of Pohnpei had been built under the direction of a mystical octopus, Lidakika. (I was fascinated by this, for it was the only cephalopod creation myth I had ever heard.”
