You see
If you fish
Right here, on the very bottom
You, without doubt would attract
Quite different species than those
Who masquerade, impolitely on the surface
Yes
Down here amongst the deep mud
In more than murky water
You may both
In accidental collision
Find surprise
Then
Held tight
To rise mercurially upwards
Faster than a rocket
Or
The opening of an eye
It is all about balance
About the touch
A distant understanding
In competition your patience and your mind
And the lessons
Of past and future chance
Bait
Sprinkled on the surface
While butterflies and bluebottles
And dragonflies
And bigger fish
Invisibly, permissibly, pass by
