A Waiting Room

in one 
passageway
squirting out
another
not a worm
on a hook
but a fish
perplexed
perhaps
by miniature
coral pieces
I told you so
a dozen times
ooh, such
devilishly striped
gills

Sometimes I feel like a tiny fish perplexed by the ocean of life's mysteries, really like the 'devilishly striped gills' - brings a daredevil feel it to!
