10.6

She walks in seafood like the night.

She wears krill on her fingers and whelks on her toes.

She being brand/name tuna

Half a league, half a league, half a league downward
into the briny surf rode the six hundred.

[Accidental sea-themed poetry]

  3. this is just to say

    i have eaten
    the fish
    that were in
    the ocean

    and which
    you were probably
    saving
    from extinction

    Forgive me
    they were delicious
    so slimy
    and so scaled
