Fishers and Men

We use animals to catch animals like 'fighting crime' in Chicago. Shouldn't this be the point we think about four fingers going in with a crooked thumb, maybe rusting with whitlow, taking hold of the silver on a sardine, putting hooks through what supposed to be its lungs should make us think of Kentucky's Best & Reefer, not the buzz, but the carcinoma. Our minds are never there; we are not that color people. We call it entice or tackle, but we should turn on the balls of our heels and head back home empty-handed.
