Trying to coerce Alabama fish
to pro-Palestinean course of action is not easy.

Really, all I’m looking for, though,
is to get them to see both sides of the issue,
ensure that they’re not entirely Zionist in their approach.

Since these sea-creatures refuse to talk to me about the issue,
I’m not making much headway.

Probably it would be much easier if I could breathe underwater.
Or speak to sea life.

Perhaps communicating telepathically, like Aquaman,
would be a boon,
but I’m not a fictional comic book character,
so that’s out.

I’ll just have to continue to fly down to Tallahassee on weekends
and still my head in the water
to convince the Greenbreast Darter to listen to my entreaties…

You’re telling me Tallahassee isn’t even in Alabama,
where the Greenbreast lives?

Now I have to start all over again!
