Listing to Port

Disco lobsters, sea pigs, those eels who can never be arsed, octopuses who have invented a form of advanced mathematics by knotting seaweed and have recently realised that they are now imprisoned in a metric fuckton of knotted seaweed, sea snakes hissing into tiny coral trumpets, submarine parking permit crabs (retired), parrotfish who have recently expired, those fish in the middle of the middle ocean and the centre of the deeps who have never seen nor touched anything hard and are not sure whether the whole idea is a conspiracy or not, those who have just found some eggs, electric eels who have formed a collective power station for some mysterious purpose not at all involving death rays, great stacks of slippy flatfish, those who are pretending to be the reflection of the moon, sleepy icefish, whales who have fallen in love with a voice heard across half an ocean and are even now singing their slow replies, those whose whole world is a wet stone, those who have done a shit on an item of sunken treasure, fish who grew legs but the walk on land was a bit disappointing and certainly not a basis for further exploration, endless schools of giddy yaysquid, sprats who cannot be having with all this bollocks.
