a green fish in a green sea a green fish in the shape of a rhombus .inconspicuous .and let’s say home is the yoke of fetters or better yet home iz the hollowed-out butt knot butt knot in color option wasp .and let’s say today the sun iz shining the sky set with green inchworms, the yoke thrown down, the butt knot near enough to green to blend in .and the sea-hare grazing and its gaze friendly and benign beneath its poisonous eyelids in the green haze .and the sea asp and the self-proclaimed sea asp taskmaster lie down on a hard bed, just a board on a cloth braided belly pressed to braided belly
