the one that got away

it's a yarn,
a long, well told story, 
polished to a shine,
repeated,
embellished over
the years.
he has it down.
his hands
move from side to side,
this big, he says,
this wide.
there's a twinkle
in his eye.
he loves telling this tale
about the one that got away,
the big fish,
getting bigger and bigger
over time.
