a fish surfaces
from a wave
.not drowning
.not flailing
.no pounding
.no wailing
If fish don’t cry for help then why would I?
back under
.underwater sailing
not coming up for air
But some fish do cry, they get help, some
fish cry and they don’t
.up comes another kind of fish
-a floundering failing
.saying:
.help me?
nein nein nein!
.non!
-no entiendo!
-in distress, tries again, praying:
.M’Aidez
/
-Mayday!
-non?
Mayday!
.none
/
Some fish don’t cry for help, can no one hear
that gentle tap?
