Tell me,
do you wonder why the lionfish
ignores you?
Why your face droops into a puddle
on the ground
is wiped up,
wrung out
to flavour coffee
in a foam paper cup?
Well tonight take a step forward,
seize life, apply yourself!
on the company website
to become a lionfish
or a paper cup or,
failing that,
the dishcloth
that squeezed your face out.
