I'Ll Have the Fish

I once was a fish, a thin skeleton and fleshy except for my fins. I once wanted to swim upstream, just to see if I could. I didn’t make it all the way. That’s how I ended up here, on this plate with a butter sauce dripping into every crevice of my exposed musculoskeletal structure. I was a fish, now I’m a dish, in some 3 star restaurant. I hope I taste good, at least worth the $23 bucks, and the drive.
