Queer Fishes Of the Sea

as though in the darkness life had
taken every imaginable license to be
ugly and bizarre. Cannibalism is evil

There are fish with teeth SO long
that they cannot close their mouths,
fish that draw their stomach over

no more mouth than leech, and get

full Of encouragement.
Next comes the low, subdued- cheer,
