Colossol Shrimpness

Colossol Shrimpness

whisper in your shell like,
spare me from  selfish men
they sell fish -  fish that smell-
and we buy it constantly
they strategically  drop 
stray prawns, falling into cracks
in the crux of a relationship
have you noticed any prawns ?
maybe he removed them
from the cocktail
you thought you bought
at the starter...
their time will dawn
and they will honk
 you know not where
they came from..shrimp-like
limpet..razor sharp wit
in waves of slather
begins the tidal onslaught
of subliminal prawn
