This planet's only environment
hospitable to humans
within these giant fish
it's not so bad
you get used to the smell
and the internal parasites
some of which make good eating
but when these fish are caught
and slit open
well
that's the end
for any oxygen breathers
who might be inside

On the plus side
when they spawn
we can colonize
thousands of eggs all at once
soon there will be many more of us
living here
than on what's left of the home world
