Mid-sized Crabs

 are piled in a water-filled transparent tank

 beside similar tanks of crowded eel and bass

 below the tank with one solitary huge king crab

 in the seafood section of the asian market.

 I'd want to be the one crab balanced

 atop the shifting heap of his fellows

 belly flat against the tank wall facing out

 with one pincer hooked over the top.
