An eroding indian boy struggling with the pacific,
The company he keeps is what is in question,
a floating, passively carnivorous algae island,
Who knows if it ever existed? logic says otherwise,
An omega tiger, its seasickness, Pi's life line,
Was this tiger, in reality, Pi himself?
A metaphor for life? Where does god stand
in this tale with two stories?
humans or animals?
One tells a tale that is easier and harder to believe simultaneously,
That one I believe is the true version,
It takes a leap of faith in god to believe that
animals could ever coincidentally kill each other and Pi could ever survive, does this mean that the story with humans is sadder
and therefore we choose to believe the one with animals?
If so, we have a long way to go,
before life could be truly equal
