`
twenty four hours
a long line of fish swimming
away from the sea
where are you going
do you have coups in the sea
searching for something
you’re going to save
ali mohammed al nimr
no humans can stop
terror on the land
suddenly they’re twice as fast
flying walendas
twenty at a time
please do not tickle the shin
only your fancy
ten thousand sea birds
nary a one go hungry
fish for everyone
couple sits in surf
middle age middle of fish
walendas jump high
the man just stood up
came to ask if i would like
“see sharks in the wild”
i shake my head no
three very large sharks dining
of course, the minnows
i backed up ten feet
now hundreds of mullet jump
shark the reason why
we’re only five peeps
against these three south beach sharks
they’re full to the gills
actually just moi
four halfway back to hotel
after last haiku
just three sharks and me
back up again to dry land
and do the mouse scream
scarier alone
all three perpendicular
you have shark side view
