Jumping Trout

Jumping Trout

i don't think about fish very much
i suppose they don't think much of me
golden forms circling in chamomile
steam rising from the morning pond
accustomed to the bland life
(forget everything every 3 seconds) 
moss-covered glade luring me to murky depths
tasty fish flesh gleaming at sunrise
rise through; muscular sleek body
propelling effortlessly with the current
break the surface - explode into the sky
(haven't been here in a while)
bee trap in gummy jaws (maws-covered)
full body fins coated in dry air
scale sparkle pink blue green puce
still, timestop moment in midair
headfirst plunge back home

*bloop*
