Chum in the Water?

You came in loud like that was wise—
just flung your muddy paws around,
all growls and spit and cow-dumb eyes.
You came in loud.

This isn't turf. It’s neutral ground.
Your claws too dull to even fight—
the lie you told, that fish can drown.

My instrument full-throttle thrives
harvests now free range, as wolf-hound
altered ego preys the lines.
You came in loud.
