#gills
Who used to stay up late talking? You were drunk and had no one else to listen Love the invisible fishing line that hooked me directly through my gills even still to this day You caught me without using a single piece of bait

Hooked
I've been treading water, trying not to drown But I'm afraid, I'm finally going down The waves are coming faster And of self control I am no master Should I hold my breath as I plunge Or breath in the water and quickly this life expunge I keep my eyes open as I am sinking But I can't keep from blinking When a colorful fish swims by Then turned around and looked me in the eye What he had to say gave me chills "Why don't you just grow gills We all must change and adapt Or none of us would live through life's crap" Wise words from a fish's lips And if I survive, I'll never again eat fish and chips

From a Fish's Lips
I can't rip myself asunder from such a magnanimous prepositional as this. While the fishes hang from my window like little ice-ickles in spring. So foams the frosty beverage that tells the gills to sing. Twilight music and the sonnets contained therein have little left to offer us, save a right-winged jerry-bin. So the muse of ages goes round and around and around for the malarkey of a daffodil creates folds and hills where none exist.
