curiously mud

more patient than the bowfin
must be great
or millions of years wait
is not too long to be late

satiate in the midst of solution
a quorum of liquid stasis
remedial eyes spot fins as the basis
to instants in absentia perfection

south bay is a place to say
its two ok
fine enough that ages
a patina of algaes
that cheshire grin
who might turn in or out
to be a fish disguised as a lawyer
or a dismal pike a shoe
