Some people make me angry However much they look outwards, they only see themselves They only see their own face, reflected on the shimmering scales of the fish jumping in the lake by which they sit The people like watching the fish But fish and people can't be friends because people can't see what a fish is thinking, even though the fish are always watching with lidless eyes The fish; quiet, modest, good swimmers The reflection of the onlooking person on their scales glimmers Like a mirror Some people only see themselves

People and Fish
Some people make me angry However much they look outwards, they only see themselves They only see their own face, reflected on the shimmering scales of the fish jumping in the lake by which they sit The people like watching the fish But fish and people can't be friends because people can't see what a fish is thinking, even though the fish are always watching with lidless eyes The fish; quiet, modest, good swimmers The reflection of the onlooking person on their scales glimmers Like a mirror Some people only see themselves
