Notes About The Poem

A Fox In Concrete Jungle

A red fox suddenly creeps
out of hiding in Rick's shed,
startling him...

"Whoa! Aren't you a fish out of water, sly one?,"  he asks

The fox freezes for a second,
confused by the question.

Rick fires off two more...

"So, what brings you to my neck of the woods?"

"Are you headed back to the wild?

And what did the fox say back, you wonder?
Nothing.

It snarled at Rick and slinked away
in a huff, furious...
it was called a "fish"
