On The Write Path

Go fish (Taipei)

Go fish ...

I take a picture of the pink lady taking a picture ...

as fish jump, as startled I jump, as water cascades over a rocky wall where the pothos hangs in silence, green and lime-green over ...

a pool. The white, orange, calico carp are huge.

We sit for breakfast. I hear English spoken at a distance, no western faces. One young girl stabs her happy face fry putting chops through each eye. I life my noodles, a taste of Taiwan.

Cold scales and whiskers surface. Do they see me? What plea or warning do they mouth?
