Livingston Rossmoor
Puffer Fish
From the book "Collected Triplets"
My other name is blow fish, I ingest air,
water to blow my stomach into a ball,
several times my size to warn predators.
And they keep coming, my tetrodotoxin
is lethal to fish, 1,000 times more poisonous
than cyanide, enough to kill thirty men.
Still, I was captured.
