Geisha Mermaid

He really liked her blind. He'd sneak up from behind

And run his finger down her spine - say 'it's fine'

Though headlines shouted FINAL!

Pigs would fly, cities turned to powder shrines.....

He'd keep her dark brown eyes in brine and she'd be happy -

Swimming under water. Safe! Looking for some seaweed she could

Bake and make a meal for two. A Tokyo stew. And though he knew

She'd never do it - he never told her. He'd never ever tell her....
