moral tide

we are killing a fish
I wish I could say
we will gain something by it

we could eat the fish
but it is very small
this would result in
a net caloric loss

we could learn something
possibly by dissection or experiment
so far the fish has not consented

I’ve heard the fish is vegan
it would not harm us

you and I are in a race
to save a fish
from the killing
we will each perpetrate upon it
