Perhaps
it’s the fish-eye lens,
But under the
dark
rippled
water
I imagine
fish
blindly
(blithely?)
swimming;
the smallest
eaten by the larger
small ones
and those
by larger ones yet.
On and on,
up the food chain…
The largest
occasionally
unfortunate enough
to swallow
bogus bait
dropped to the deep
from boats above
by pretender predators.
Every.
Single.
One.
Vulnerable.
