On board the Agua C
trailered to a Ford
a fisher, orange-bibbed
offloads fish
to a plastic bin
lifted gunwale high.
Water wets the road
the gutters run.
Ahi and marlin —
shining fins, scales, teeth —
cleaned and fileted, weighed
plastic-wrapped and priced.
So man fishes, so
fish die, so the man
sells fish so man can
eat. Forklift by Yale.
such perfect simplicity. especially loved the use of "orange ribbed"
