Fish Nets

Coward flirting safely in its nest

Muddy drinking water pays the rent

Stick and stuck with stiffened muck

Locked up poorly

Safely stuck

Which lies west

This witch lies best

We rest without sleep

And we dream without sheep

Oh no

Go yes west at best

With fish people meat

Let me come around and see

Let me run to town and breathe

I don’t want to leave my bed

It’s comfortable inside my head

Lay me up and build me down

Place atop an origami crown

Creature feature show

More than we know

Maybe this day

Maybe this way

Maybe it’s fate

It’s a date

With a fish
