A bigger fish


A bigger fish, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

I was a small child on a beach in Mexico when an American tourist returned from a fishing trip. He had caught a big fish and was very proud of it. "That's some fish isn't it?"
It was, I nodded.
The very same day i was walking down the beach and i came across some strong fishermen pulling in long nets. They were throwing away massive fish, just like the one the tourist had caught. I grabbed a big one as he flipped in the wake and took him home. I could just barely pull him down the beach. I passed the tourist and showed him my fish. "That's some fish isn't it?
He nodded. Then he shook his head and walked away.

The Lost People


The Lost People, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

I see the lost people on my way to work. They wander the old salt flat. They come out after it rains.
They wander slowly with their head bowed. Looking. Always looking.
Always lost.

It was the smoke that gave him away.
He smoked Menthols - he'd been trying to quit for ages.
As it turned out that was his last cigarette.
