Have some poems.

I fished once
with an old man
we found
seaweed
seaweed
seaweed
and a shoe
no fish, but that was all right
I did not like the thought of stealing their breath
for my table
at the grocery store, there are fish
that someone else has already made into objects



When I was small, I went fishing
with my grandfather
I didn't understand how he could sit there so patiently
just sit
for hours
we caught no fish
my father told a story about
a man who fished in the same lake for thirty years
and never caught a thing
then they came out with a study
that realized the lake had no fish
he never fished again
