fishing for reason in
\na cesspool of lunacy.
\nMy line has been laying
\natop still, foamy water\u2014
\nstagnant\u2014in fact it is rotting from the contact.

\nOnly another rod. Another fisher.

\na trophy. Or a meal. Or a pet.
\nfishing is for patient folk\u2014
\nthe likes of which I am not.
\nSo I\u2019ll pack up and take to swimming.
\nmaybe I\u2019ll have better luck with my hands?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
