You don't do yourself justice--it is a lovely and intricate piece that plays with sound in a wonderful way. (You'll note in that not a word about meaning, largely because that isn't the first level I enjoy a poem on.) So, if it isn't exactly as you would have it, it is still very, very fine, fluid and lovely and sinuous. It has many of the attributes of your longer pieces, all wrapped up in a very constrained little container--bravo!
I'm glad you enjoyed this, Steven! I didn't love it, but it seemed just about right for a fish.
