Sonnet to a Salmon

Sunday past Masoud and I decided to eat lunch out. At first we were going to go to Kim Son, but then we decided to go to Lucky Village. The deciding factor being Lucky Village has shushimi on their buffet and Kim Son doesn't. We're crazy bout shushimi! Usually the maguro (tuna) is awesome. But it wasn't quite up to par Sunday. But the salmon. OH!!! It was such a nice shade of coral, sweet, succulent, satisfying, spectacular, supreme, sublime. I'd even go so far as to say it was spiritual. It's one of the best things to ever pass between these 2 lips of mine! For an instant, I was transported back in time -- to an Alaskan environ -- I was one with the salmon; I was leaping, jumping, trying desperately to make my way upstream, to spawn. At my last, most courageous, valiant, far-reaching leap of all -- into the deep, dark, black depths of the abyss I did fall -- into the gaping, starving, carnivorous jaws of the great grizzly. Oops! I got carried away! But that salmon, made all the more special when shared with a kindred spirit who savored it as much as I did, was very special. Very special indeed. So thank you salmon for your sacrifice for my satisfaction.
