War

The chickens crap on the esplanade
the boats are in the harbor

the fish, they swim down in the sea
and glance up through the water

the men are in the harbor town
the women in their homes

the fox is loose in the falling woods
the grubs are in the loam, when suddenly a great big bomb falls out of the sky.

    Why do the fish swim down? How can they glance up if they are swimming down?

    They swim on their side, like halibut.
