Fresh water mermaids
Under a big crowned tree near the lake three land mermaids
sat knitting swimsuits, the saw me and sat still as rabbits,
I pretended
I pretended
not to see them but did use the corner of my left eye,
I notice many things that way
Thought of taking a picture but would not like to scare them
back into
back into
the lake again, inland mermaids have scaly leg and webbed
feet,
feet,
not an edifying sight, but they can dress in trousers like
Yoko Ono
Yoko Ono
and having the bearing of exotic artists.
Curiosity got the best of me I sneaked back to take a photo
but
but
a bird whistled a tune they saw me and called me something
bad in
bad in
a language I never had heard before, it sounded like frogs`
under a rainbow coloured waterfall made of a child`s tears,
besides they could run much fast than me so, I made a rapid
retreat
retreat
while rabbits gleefully danced in the glade and crows
strafed me
strafed me
with the precision, a
Luftwaffe pilot would be proud of.
Luftwaffe pilot would be proud of.
