a foolish fish am i fattened with folly
to swallow an un-baited hook
while already trapped in a trap
that manipulates my own excess
now i wait for generosity to un-hook
and keep me in that closed corner
letting me feel closely a providence
a grace to swim though in tiny space
and before extinction to mouth
creative curses on those enjoying
the extermination of others using sly
methods ignoring also their conscience
