The clock’s short arm
is two lines over midnight,
And the internet is a river
of nocturnal creatures,
My fishing rod is as plastic as
my phony profile picture’s nose,
A scripted act of deep affection
a tasty trapping virtual bait,
Singing mermaid ringing you in
There’s nowhere else to swim.
Successful the catfish-lady catching a fish-man.

A scripted act of deep affection

Singing mermaid ringing you in
There’s nowhere else to swim.
Successful the catfish-lady catching a fish-man.
