I swim along. Along with all the others. Fins that are not as vibrant. A tail a bit askew. No point. No point in taking interest in other fish. We don't do that, not down here. We swim. Those hooks, they taunt us. We bite. No one hears our cries of pain. Even the others. We don't respect much, not down here. We swim. We're not very quick clever. Just responsive, and not responsibly so. We just swim.
