Imminent Fish
these wonderous oceans
and buoyant streets
revolve like a roulette
as these Imminent Fish
wobble and waddle
straddle and scale
their individul paddles
commotioning
notioning
their lily white
gills
spraying
their juicy
liquid
opal
rope
spewing
bubbles
revolving
Imminent Fish
bewaddle
and waddle
a lotionous
balloon
circuitous winds
appetite
a pearl'n blue
opal sweet dust
of
opal sweet blue
quickly i hear
a razor'n buzzard
the brilliant buzzed
cicadas
repeating like the
synthetic viaducts
and
violence
vibrating
the hard snare
rumbling of
the percussive
night
