dVerse Puente

Found: A Foot Out of Water

It was just a foot
in the running gutter,
just hanging
down.

~ he shrugged ~

It looks like
a bloody big squealing
fish to me,
he said.

I think the fish might feed on fish.

  Highly likely. I wouldn’t trust my toes near it.

An interesting perspective – though I agree with he said – a fish.

Surrealism at its best, Misky. Either that or he’s having DTs 😉

Goodness this is incredibly potent! 💝💝 I believe the fish prey on fish.. better to take their example and be cautious. 🙂
