DRIFT NETS: Some thoughts about harvesting on marine life

the fabric uv death 
while a few centimeters writhe 
captures more critters 
than we cun eat
with movin' gravesides 
tearin' ensnarin' uncarin'  
tangled nylon cords uv mesh 
trap countless creatures und 
bring them tuh cutting boards
uv frozen pre-packaged sterilized 
bio-enhanced micro-wavable 
pseudo life 

Philyra:    This is a perfect poem: it says nothing directly, yet hints at just enough 
            that readers can construct various possible meanings.

Ellesha:	At times the boundary between art & poetry seems obscure – it's hard to say 
            whether pictorial poems are art or literature.

Soo:		Anyway, the colors are nice.

Elijah:		To me, the whole thing is senseless . . .

Jules:		Perfect poem? Tu rigoles! [then whispering "Gim'me a break" in a Franco-American accent]

Andrei:		Relax. Za human capacity for bullshit is amusing . . .
