Bigger fish

Am I so small,

that I may be served up proper

for the bigger fish?

Dressed as a poor man,

an appetizer dish.

Dressed as a rich man,

would truly be my wish,

so I may delay being eaten

by the bigger fish.

I’m not exactly Jonah

or the old man in the sea.

Perhaps more like Captain Ahab

If time has its way with me.

Consumed by times indenture,

like plankton in the sea.

I am nether a mackerel,

nor a sea anemone.

Perhaps I am the middle fish,

as bigger fish would see.
