The Aluminum Sea Monster

 Oh,

bauble.

Your beauty is like a

bomb of bedazzlement.

Once I was hooked

there was no escape.

I saw something shiny,

and I took the bait.


In a sea of liquid storage,

I swam.

A sardine in a school of sharks.

Sifting through a synagogue of selfish sinners

as I syncopate my strangulated syllables.

Struggling to speak.


Oh,

aluminum fishing hook.

Your creator is a world-class cook.

The list of your victims could fill a book.
