SHORE


Fishing line is transparent
Almost invisible
I first noticed it on my shoes
Then I saw it tangling up my leg

The fisherman told his wife
“Look… we got one”
They smiled at each other
And I smiled back at them
Untangled my feet
And walked away

I was stepping
On nature’s semiconductors
And my joints were thankful

A white & blue fishing boat
Was near the shore
And a father & son duo
Passed me by
He said to the young boy
Don’t get hooked
