Fresh shrimp and a blue crab

 Shrimping

 Grand Isle, LA sunset

A 5" blue crab

came in with the shrimp

walked sideways

 as crabs do

to an empty spot on the far wall

all the while staring at me

Which eye do you look at
they're so far apart

It tucked its legs under

and sat with a huff

as if Velcroed

 Pincers met
covering it's chest
 implying
You want some of this
come and get it

I wasn't there to fight

but I did wonder

how good it would taste

in a salad
