You can’t judge a wave by its prose.

The text of the poem is like a surfboard; you cannot understand what surfing means by just looking at a surfboard.

For once they got someone who understands.

BP has a radio commercial emphasizing their focus on “the little things” and how it’s important to do that in order to be a good company. Not among “the little things” are “Not killing our own employees and almost destroying an entire underwater ecosystem by ignoring basic safety practices on our oil drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.”

“Not killing employees” and “destroyers eco-systems” are big things. BP focuses on the little things, like radio commercials.
