if fish could type

if fish could type, the keyboard would look

convex and their fins would skitter across

the keys, composing works of great 

depth that only their kind could understand,

we are so limited in ours, requiring certain

structures and order

perhaps the fish have already written works

like those of Shakespeare 

(who I never liked all that much, even though

I'm supposed to).

I'd rather read a fishy tale of love and adventure,

of swirling waters and rainbows viewed from

under the sea.
