you really like fish
     and I can't even remember what year it is
most of the time
you like fish
     I can never settle on the year
or;     I mean
I can never get that last number right
     and you like all non-white meat fish
mostly
     lobster is seafood not fish
red when boiled
dyes my hand     slick and red
     buttery
I wipe them on my shirt
the dark figure in the dank archway     by the dock
turn out yer pockets     wallet
     purse
stink of fish     brown water     machine
     gunpowder     oil
the slow moving clouds as the sun sets
a drifting thought
