Fish Tank
by grimbeau
Pride comes ashore a goldfish
surfeit worse than debt
unconditional regard
watch the gangsters
recurring nightmares:
boot crushing face in slowmo
long pig-roasting on red spit
buried up to neck
molasses shampoo
carnivorous ants…
the usual stuff he told me
turned out a bunch of crap
just another emotional
wreck shivering in
Davy Jones’ Locker
Not fishing you out this time
Swallowed your own bait, did you?
Hook line & sinker
