THE TROUT

Eating the trout
on my Friday fish day
then placing on
my  plate
and dish
a lemon sherbet
for dessert
while listening
to "The Trout"
a quintet of Schubert
in A Major of this score
on a turn table before me
then taking
this open boat
out to the Azores
as the late morning tide rips
its waves at high tide
transporting me about
and skips by the shore.
