determinism2 (squared)

the lifetime of a sprat
especially a gourmet sprat
in the baltic waters off latvia
what to say?
short? spry? sharp?
a fishy kind of happy life?
don’t ask
don’t know
once netted
how tasty

What I’m Reading:

A group of migrants
sewed their mouths shut

at the border because their voices
fell through a hole
in the sky.
