Literature Text

They dart swiftly, flashing, silvery like a coin mid-flip, gone before you can even
Minnows, I believe. Small, and quick, like minnows. They must be.
Too quick to be speared, too fickle to be caught. I want one.
I cast a line, it flies like spider's silk

It bobs fruitlessly on the horizon.

Shadows there, underneath.
Too shy to take the bait.
My line lies limp and unused
And yet

There is a bite

Great turbulence in the water
A shark, some kind of shark
Not the little minnow that I like
There is the line in my hands, 

And the scissors in the other.

To cut the line and lose it,
Or to be pulled in with the shark?
I only wanted a minnow,
If only you had been a minnow...
turbulence.
