The ball . The death .
A shibboleth :  here we go round the mulberry bush
So early in the morning .
A customary fall, a sheep asleep :
A pull to the deep—safety in numbers
Addled .

Subtracted mass
Of the turning baitball, the teamwork of predators :
Dolphin, tuna, sailfish and shark ;
Gannets, cormorants, terns and gulls :
Death from the sky and death from the sea .
Frenzied

Edge of measure,
Amorphous : dwindling like incandescent kindling ;
The scarlet ribbon courses :
Tragic drama of pelagic
Runs, an attrition of sardines or herring .
Unfair .

A singular fish
Dives perpendicular to the piscatorial
Emergence against predation :
A divergence from the rest
[ Reticular loss of lives ], primordial .
Arrest

The expected
Text : be dexterous, quick, jump over the candlestick .
The hollow of the rocky nook
Swallows the gifted swimmer :
A hammerlock school overtook—you rock fish .
Lifted

Outside the box :
Where wildebeest stand linear, fronting the lion—
There : mussels muscle dark lobsters—
When the wreckfish is not breakfast
For the seal shark—the lamb is sure to go
Outland .
