big fish

i live in a small town

a fishing village

technically it's a city

but its a town

thirty seven thousand people with small town mentality

one of the great things about this small town

is that you can be a big fish

miss h once told me that a friend of hers told her she is a whale

i don't think the friend should have said it while he was sitting behind her on a bicycle

but i understand what he meant

i feel like that whale

i am an orca

Killer whales are voracious predators. They hunt singly or in groups, feeding on fish, seals and other cetaceans. They are usually found in groups and are commonly seen in Australian waters, and occasionally close inshore. They sometimes strand on the Australian coast.

there's my social circle right there

i worry about us being hunted

but chances are our demise will be our own doing
