1
in the fish market of religions
and faiths
and suppositions and declarations
and fierce revelations
much of the commerce is done
on the principle:
*Who shouts loudest
and shouts longest
and shouts often-est
gets to empty the most pockets
of bewildered customers*
(You always empty their minds
first)
2
You never lose in this fish market
Even the quiet ones
the ones of mild manners and timid ways
can trawl a good number
of faithful customers
3
You can sell fresh fables
or smelly old tales –
they are all good commerce
4
Of course some slap you
right in the face
with their fish:
That too seems to catch customers…
I think you stun them with one blow
and they remain stunted all their lives
