chef sez to fish in the Great Chora Riff,
our stiff skiff must risk the pre-lingual

chef sez the trick is to catch a thick hunk
of a fresh coho (with skin with bones)

chef sez the salmon's midriff should be fancy
(a little fattier than the tail)

chef sez our fish tale of grandeur is a gumbo
a jumble of sound in an image sea

chef sez forget plot, dab surface with oil
season with song, poach fish in steam
in dream 'til consciousness cooks

chef sez

the trick is to not to overblanche your wish

  chef sez when fish is close to done, slip
a thin knife deep along the vertical
bone of the story's back

chef sez take a peek, probe at the thickest
place where no words serve you

chef sez top with chopped dill, lemon, olive
oil and gros sel, ignore the knife hole

  chef sez remove your thickest skin bask in
