shark fishing
"are you in there?"
[or have you migrated, at last?]
i've found myself sticking my toe in your tank from boredom.
"will something bite me?"
"can you?"

i see you gnawing on that carcass.
she won't be enough for the likes of you.
i know your appetite.
and i wonder,
"am i not the proper bait for you anymore?"
