onto
the hook after cutting it in half
with a butter knife,
was bad enough,
but not nearly
as bad
as pulling the hook
out of a fish's
hard lip
when you reeled one in.
the fish all slimy
and jittery refusing
to sit still,
his lungs gagging on air,
as you
held him down on a rock.
what lives
these creatures
endure at the hands of
small children.
