the sign on the front door
that reads,
gone fishing,
will return in a week.
leave all
packages around back.
but i'm not
going fishing, in fact
i haven't fished
since i discovered
that Safeway sells fish.
you can get it
in the back of the store
on ice.
Jimmy, the fish monger
will wrap you up
a slab of catfish,
or turbo
in brown paper.
no need to fish anymore,
but maybe
i can get some in new york
while i'm up there
if i'm not stuffed with
hot pastrami
from Katz's deli.
