"Francis. Your name…is Francis."

so I looked up this poem and. well.

the thing that kills me about this is it’s like, okay, Dr. Gillian Taylor is a marine biologist specializing in cetaceans. It makes sense that she would recognize this poem, maybe be able to offer up the title and author when it’s quoted. but Kirk. My darling. My love. why oh WHY have you memorized a twentieth century poem about whale sex,

Well, when Gary Mitchell mentioned that Kirk was “a stack of books with legs” in college, he didn’t necessarily say what kinds of books.
