Imagine

Jesus as a 
fisher of men.
Yet in this instance
the Beleiver
swallows the hook,
and Jesus
with the fish
now flopping about
out of water
-- Jesus yanks
out the hook
but in doing
so pulls the man's
guts right
out
through his mouth

or imagine
a beleiver
biting the hook
needing a little nourishment
getting snappped
gettin' hauled
outta the
water into the
boat
to be
weighed
meausured 
tormented
indoctrinated

fishers of men:
only trouble 
is these fishers
don't catch 
and release, 
they catch
and clean.
