I wanted to search a different angle
After the line was tangled
And things were hopelessly
Dead.
Things should be
So much more upscale
And tasteful
Than this
Maybe even
Swimming in clear seas
Beside virgin yachts
And millionaires
Avoiding my net worth
By the fishmonger
And the diners
With the gold-lined plates
And worrying about
Which fork he'll use
After the four-star restaurant

Remembering a time, long ago, when massed suitors schooled in her wake
But Diver Dan caught her eye, hooked her heart, then left her... high and dried.
