The uncertain philosophy of the ocean

 Lying on a floating block a nameless pier
I investigated the rays moving underneath
It looked like bait but hunger was universal
An uncertain philosophy

Yellowish meat should have been chicken
but wasn't
The line slowly slipped into the water
I lifted my legs
afraid something might bite

The line was running faster
almost no time to set the bait
before it disappeared,
luring some poor fish

The waters were so abundant
As if there were no predators
I slip beneath the surface
and become the shark

 Tropical fish
swimming inside irony
an aquarium
uncertain philosophy

Always swimming
putting on a show
then escaping a million schools
while the fish swim up

Tickling their desires
the salt water had to be perfect
in an imperfect world
one moment bitter with silence
the next overwhelmed by noise

Colors flashing on their bodies
Grace moving through the water of fame
The appeal from outside
The call from within

What a reef
