April 17, 2020


AGAIN


Our nets were empty.
Again ….


We had fished the whole night 
and caught nothing.... 
Again ….

Then in the morning 
he’s just sitting there 
and asks us if we caught anything. 

“Nothing ….” 

Again....

“Why does he always do that?” 
said one disciple to the other 
Hey …. He saw the paintings.” 

Then he says, 
“Try the other side.” 

We do that as on cue 
and the nets are full to breaking point. 

“Dang it! He always does that!” 
thinks one of the unnamed disciples. 

“Ooops!
Hope that thought isn’t caught in a painting.”
