What the Fish Nets Caught

she doesn't
wattle she
doesn't walk

like a pair 
of nylons 
she runs 

but i
a belly
bloated
blowfish
don't dare
even to try
to even think
or contemplate
chasing her in a
marathon and
so s l o w l y
lag behind
my pace
maker
and

my
mile
marker

only at
five
and

a 

half
inches
that's it

watches her
amazing
feat

I’ve been caught by a few fishnets. Fortunately they rip fairly easily.
