Resolve

Yelling from inside someone else’s frame, my central nervous system sedated, these brackets of measured feet are inflamed. My mirrored reflection is berated. I watch my species swim across for fish. We all know that the shark teeth lay in wait. Yet, colors on those fish scales make us wish. We call it food, but they use it as bait. I go and tell it on the tall mountain, thinking of innovative words to say. It rubs the pork gel lotion on its skin, then kneels down to the shark, so it can pray. I resolve to attempt to save myself, and feign to behave like everyone else.
