Crayfish
They leaned in to the deck and with one move
swung the red crayfish up and out
of the bowel of the boat. Boxed
together. Neutered by the elastic
that held the claw. Antennae still
posting contrary signals. Enthralled
in gladitorial rage. Did not seem to notice
their territories were taken from under them
