Fish

Here is a fish,


pulled from the river.


It is better than


the fish in my pond.


I dozed by a stream,


slept by the river,


while many more fish


went by.


There were still others


but I was occupied


with writing in sand


and caught nothing.


If I am watchful


I may catch another


and we will feast.


William E. Rushman, December 1997
