I have never met a fish
for it’s domain could be outer space
we cannot breathe in each other’s world
if we could talk, what would
the conversation hold
would I be astonished by the wisdom
it has attained in a silent, vibrant world

I love your poem, Lisa! It would be fascinating to have a conversation with fish.
