Nets, unfurled
The men were watching
breath held waiting
the nets unfurled
anticipating
the fish below
unsuspecting
Haul away
the winch was turning
fish like coins
into the hold slipping
The men were happy wages earned
home to wife and child they turned
More destruction
another chapter
Whales and Dolphins
doesn’t matter
‘incidental kills’
shouldn’t be there
they eat our fish
Ours
not theirs
So throw them back
make sure they’re dead
they’ve got no rights
they steal our bread
They don’t contribute to our world
just get in the way of nets unfurled

The only thing different about this poem from the Immediacy poem is that I’ve put in line breaks. There were none originally, except those which the size of the writing pad dictated, but in my head this was the way I saw it laid out.
