Catch and Release
If you're a fish,
I'm a boat—
slowly polluting your life.
At first, you swim close,
and I admire your scales,
your curious nature.
But you're a fish,
and I'm a boat.
Boats often hold fishermen.
You're a beautiful fish,
with shimmering scales,
and you swim this ocean so free.
Maybe you'd have had
a beautiful fish life
if you'd never come across me.
You're a fish out of water.
And I'm a boat.
If you're a fish, I want to be a fish
I dont want to be a boat
