Today I went fishing
alone
I carried a little green tackling box and a fishing rod that appeared to be longer than necessary
It felt so good
and calming
the wind changing the direction of the cast
the fishing line floating on the surface
in the shape of a spine
the marshy smell of the lake
I returned to the picking flowers state of mind but substituted it with the thought of catching a fish
"If I catch it then..."
I was so close to!
I mean I caught the fish
its just the sucker bit off the entire hook
and it wasn't even a little sunfish
it was atleast a foot
I saw it
but I guess I didn't put up a good enough fight
afterwards I was talking to myself and cursing
determined
I made decent casts
but I messed up the rod like always
this time though
I didn't pack up and leave
I was patient
and I untangled the line all by myself
sometimes I think
I can make it on my own
do you know how great that feels
