In the Confines

In the confines of my brain
I throw the netting of my seine
Pull the thoughts within my head
And count the whales alive and dead

Some I eat and some I fry
And some I hang to simply dry
They are my food and nectars blend
To keep me from starvations end

Then I walk in fields of green
Plucking flowers from the scene
Satisfied the meager fare
But know tomorrow may be bare

But in the overall of all
My time is set the reapers call
And I am also in the seine
Within the circle of the chain

Now isn’t that a dainty dish
To be the whale to be the fish

Morning Sy!
It's hot and you got me to thinking
I want to take off and go fishing...
not for a whale though.

It matters not how high up in the food chain that we be, we are still in the same seine that is to pulled out of the waters of life by that grim ole reaper.

I suggest we all carry net-cutters!

Tossing you a life-line of starlight,
