Fishing |
| Please have a seat. |
| I’m sorry I’m late |
| I know how long you’ve had to wait |
| I did not forget your documents |
| No time to waste, why not begin? |
| Here’s how it works, I’ve got these faces |
| You give them names and I won’t deport you |
| Make sure you face my tape recorder |
| Make no mistake, this fountain pen |
| Could put you on a plane by ten |
| And by the way, your next of kin |
| I know which house she’s hiding in |
| So now that you know whose skin you’re saving |
| In this photograph, who’s this one waving? |
| I think you know, so speak up, amigo |
| It says here that by trade you were a fisherman |
| Well I’ll bet you Indians can really reel them in |
| And if you get the chance |
| You should try to get up to Lake Michigan |
| Well maybe, but then again… |
| Where were we then? |
| Is he your friend? |
| Well I recommend that you look again |
| Where does he stay? |
| What is his name? |
| There is no shame. |
| He’d do the same |
| So what do you say? |
| I don’t have all day |
| It’s up to you. |
| Which will it be |
| Good citizen or poor campesino? |
| My dad used to rent us this place in Ontario |
| He showed us how to cast the line and tie the flies |
| He used to say that God rewards us for letting the small ones go |
| Well maybe, but I don’t know |
| Anyway, it’s easy to bite. |
| You just take the bait |
| You can’t snap the line |
| Don’t fight the hook |
| Hurts less if you don’t try to dive |
| Senor, as you know I was a fisherman |
| And how full the nets came in |
| We hauled them up by hand |
| But when we fled, I left them just out past the coral reefs |
| They’re waiting there for me |
| Running deep |
