Poem
"Piranhas" Piranhas thrashing tales to the feeding frenzy de rigueur someone’s torn they can smell the blood pointing fingers in a mirror writing with burley on their star studded glowing wall craggy oysters peppered salty grey and green furry mouthed blunt, stunted minds lacking wisdom scattering envy curling vitriol like iron fisted pucks those imperfect pearls their sharp siren songs piercing voodoo needles from an old scratched and broken record flip side B, all the same a coin with two heads and a common tail they are swollen and swallowing their own scales with self-righteous weight a turgid brown load of what they think is right they all take a self-satisfying accusatory bite; the one’s observing outside of such fish-mongering schools with open minds non-accusatory, are Lotus-sitting floating transcendental meditating, on the left cooly regarding the killing field, with disdain, those weary jewels out of sight, terraforming eyes behind the glassy veil glowing minds of light satellites viewing with their third eye see the forked tongues of Piranhas yapping hyperbole, barking now like wild dogs tearing a piece of meat from the stomped on eviscerated bloody prey, they pray, making sure their holy Marys mother of gods songs are heard and seen first, passing morsels like it’s the last supper they all fight to take reptilian lead flight or fight; a cat walks amongst the fattened up clucking chirping pigeons silently silently hair follicles bristling the tale’s up, the fable’s read between shadow and light sharp eyes and teeth watches quietly, all the sheep following sheep off their slippery mountain cliff steeped in the blood of now lifeless others into the churning goodbye farewell adieu shark winning piranhas chasing dolphins mucky churning writing in a writhing burley All Trollish Sea boiling and stewed (LadyLabyrinth / 2020) Radiohead - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi Subtitulado https://youtu.be/ZZytljiG6Wg “Typically, bait is chopped up on the spot and thrown randomly overboard, or is placed in a chum tube and manually minced at intervals to disperse the bits and pieces of burley. The problem is, that without a constant steady stream, fish lose the trail and it's not as effective.” puck https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/puck
