Mind Fish

Poems like mind fish
surface but don’t take the
bait unless I’m quick enough,
meaning alive,
to catch them in the act of
becoming…to hook them
and boat them so they can
gasp their last breath of….

I can do two more fish…that’s the
number that came to me just now
this moment…so this is the first fish.

The second fish is Earnest Hemingway…
a quote I can’t quite remember, or, catch,
if you will…so…this is the objective correlative,
the fish that we’re after….(I catch a lot of T.S.,
they’re like sardines…) No…he was the big
one that got away…..(which reverberates
in so many mirrors)…oh, no…oh god, I’m done.
