no fish

I can't eat
fish,
you tell her, so
please, no tuna,
no salmon,
no cod filet.
but, she says,
you haven't had
my fish. I grill
it and ladle on
this sauce
I've made.
it's all about
the sauce.
I can't eat fish,
you tell her
again.
no swordfish,
no catfish, no
trout, nothing
that has ever
been swimming in
water.
what about shrimp.
I make this
wonderful shrimp
and pasta dish?
no fish, you say
again, what about
pizza. okay, okay.
I get it, no fish.
what about anchovies
on our pizza. will
that be okay?
