Comparing Fish

You feed five thousand with your tuna, praise Fortuna

Mercury levels higher than in a Chinese tomb

Silverine sliver like a river of melted spoons

I chew through Attenborough’s camera crew when they come in view of my reef

On sight beef, have a sea cow, man, bared teeth my action plan is active grief

My barracuda thoughts cigar around like Cuba

When authorities queue where I lease, they least expect that secret backpath

My jetpack firestacks impact the environs, I’m like Telemachus hearing nearby sirens

On foot they hot foot from up here like Hopi ant people, they are tiring

Streets striations in a vast latticine formation, odd orientations 

Specifically measures angles, more like a cathedral than a suburban estate

What dark fates are invited by knife rites, what provokes this passive state.


Me stressball full of knives, exist to cause strife

Mind is a bad thing to waste but I’ll take life

Headbutt your halibut into the plate before I drag your face there

White sauce filling your nostrils, parsley stuck in your bedraggled hair

In Ireland if you exaggerate they ask you are you codding me

When you pen hyperbole I smoke the cod act chipper please

When you scríobh hyperbole, my boxing ain’t got plodding

When your shit encircles me, all action scenes no plotting.


I’m Robert Graves beyond his grave, nursing oldest flame

Of fame we remark goodbye to all that

Of you departing, they remark good riddance to that twat

It’s grave you’re here robbing, at raves the strobes throbbing but in raids you’re singsonging

Won’t meet my eyes I thought fine, a sure sign that he’s chatting to the porcine over pork pies

Bet you never met a Met you didn’t commit to, never took a breath or step that didn’t fruit ineptitude.
