Changes To Fishermen
It is time each
additional day not feel
a storm-driven giant,
traveling great distance
to break at shore or,
worse, some grand ground swell that bore
down it’s full weight on hapless anglers.
We may swallow a bit by accident,
scooping pailsful to save the dinghy,
but won’t be swamped any more.
We shall survive by careful increments,
with an eye on the weather,
ever inclement,
as it brings relentless, something other
than what seemed only recently
in store.
