If you tie a fish head
to a length of string,
dangle it from a wall
into the tide
you can catch the green crab.
The green crab is good for little.
Nobody wants him
to eat,
for bait,
as the family pet.
But you can watch him
scuttle about for a while,
shuffle home to his muddy depths.
That’s about it
with the green crab.
Beyond, however, any doubt
catching the green crab is something for you.
Go to it!
Get feckless!
Let’s face it, lately there has been
altogether too much purpose in your life.
Remember!
All you need is a fish head
and a length of string.
Perhaps take some child with you
By way of pretext.
