The mercy of horseshoes

Horseshoe crabs. Those dudes used
to wash up on the beach all the time

I would flip them over

I figured if the legs were wriggling
I'd have to get that bastard asshole
back in the waves STAT, which

I seriously was not looking forward to

It never happened though. Always dead
And I think now maybe
they only wash up dead?
Like they're too savvy to wash up alive,
or if they did, they'd just book on back
to the waves.
Anyway. 

I was always dreading that job
