Howard Nemerov - Kicks

The fishermen on Lake Michigan, sometimes, br For kicks, they spit two hunks of bait on hooks br At either end of a single length of line br And toss that up among the scavenging gulls, br br Who go for it so fast that often two of them br Make the connection before it hits the water. br Hooked and hung up like that, they do a dance br That lasts only so long. The fishermen br br Do that for kicks, on Lake Michigan, sometimes. br br br Anonymous submission.
