Slimy. Icky. Between my toes.
Step. Step. The net is what I throw.
Big. Little. All around.
Pinch. Bite. Sting. You don’t hear a sound.
Birds. Fly. Don’t take my prize.
Shoo. Away. Go to the sky.
Boat. Paddle. My brother too.
These are the things we use.
Shallow. Deep. To my waist.
Swim. Walk. Throw the bait.
Crabs. Fish. Die right now.
Suffocate. Stab. Dinner. Wow.
Bait. Throw. Drop the trap.
Three. Four. Five crabs is what I get.
Sorry. Not sorry. What I do.
Keeps me alive. Eating this stew.
