The Fish Restaurant Poem by Kamiel Choi

The Fish Restaurant

Rating: 5.0


People laugh around a plate of moving squid
They are served
abalones as appetizers:
you suck the animal out
and devour him.

Everything here is maritime:
Wheel, ring, buoy, compass, fishnet, gargoyle

I am illiterate for the menu,
but I devour the fish I pined for

Outside in the fish tanks breaks some light
I see air bubbles rising.
