We Are Fish Of Another Species
I see where you swim
in circles, in groups
In concentric shapes
I merge with the fray
mimic the movements
see tailfins bend, redirect
separate, move away
splintered swimmers smooth
dive amid hydrilla hidden

Have you gone away?

The sun warms a fool
in this ocean pool
alone in open water
hovering hopeful
no predators, ready
to play

I want to teach you
my game, but rather than
acknowledge, you move away
Wait until I'm ashore
for dinner and return
to the streams
where we could play

5.18.20

Supposed to be about not wanting to join that way
How some fish don't let other fish join because they are different, unwelcome, don't know the game
Even though these fish don't play by the dictated rules, make up their own game
Can't get the gist, mood right
