today the sun came up like a frightened puppy
cowering in a fisherman's boat
somehow it hitched a ride
dashing excited to get a seat
but now it cowers
sparking anger in flashes
at all who draw near
wanting not to be seen
yet no one cares
they carry on fishing
occasionally they bash the nose
when the silliness threatens
to rock the boat
for the day is as calm
as a lake
and the fish are biting
in the shadows
The Blue Book
