2012 Poems: On the Lake



On The Lake

I don't feel guilty
About the bait, the hook,
When we fish with leeches
(and we do).

If we were
Both in the water
The tables
Would turn.

There is fairness in that, eh?
Fairness in fear.
(I once worked in court).

Really good use of a metaphor. I didn't get it until the end, then I went back and re-read the whole thing: ah-ha!
