Walking through the market, fishtails hanging sluttishly over the edge, scales glinting the smell is vaguely familiar, I try to place it. You wink across the crowd of people as you weigh a bag of squid, your hands dripping dank water and my cheeks redden-- I’m shy as the memories of my striped underwear on your stained carpet and your mouth on my ******* rise unbidden. You are nameless, but now at least, I recognize the smell.

Fish Market
Walking through the market, fishtails hanging sluttishly over the edge, scales glinting the smell is vaguely familiar, I try to place it. You wink across the crowd of people as you weigh a bag of squid, your hands dripping dank water and my cheeks redden-- I’m shy as the memories of my striped underwear on your stained carpet and your mouth on my ******* rise unbidden. You are nameless, but now at least, I recognize the smell.
