The Daily Catch

She came to the Halloween party
in black fishnet
and someone asked what she was
and she said: a fisherman’s net.

Smells like you caught something,
I said.

Not very nice, I know.

It just came out.
Like a nasty drunk.

She kept staring at me
for the rest of the evening.
Trying to murder me with her glare.

I knew that was what she was doing.
Then I didn’t feel so bad
about my insult.

I mean, out of all known proportion,
the crazy bitch was trying to kill me.
