We all come to this
sea,
for the promise of
pearls,
fabulous riches
found full five
fathoms deep,
but our fine word nets
naively
gather unwanted disciples,
tainted limpets that cynically
cling,
invade our true
sentiments
and weigh down our
aspirations
with jealous avarice.
With acrid scowls, we
from beneath our
cloaks
judge our fellow
anglers’ casts,
berate their bountiful
catch
and dismiss as luck
such just rewards.
