my final lunch
I spent noontime
on the day of my death
eating lunch
at Jo Jo Sushi
where I overheard
a Mexican lady say
anguila to her friend.
I was pleased knowing
anguila meant eel
obviously here referring to
unagi or cooked eel.
Both proud and
disappointed
possessing this
meaning
and knowing I’d have
no further use for it hence.
