little goldfish

little goldfish, you are so small

one tiny piece. in this gigantic place.

little goldfish, you swim in the same circles.

never going anywhere.

little goldfish, why do you stare?

your large eyes

empty. drowning.

little goldfish, you rise to the top

only to find it hard to breathe.

little goldfish, you swim

to find there is nothing

vast nothingness.

water. just water.

little goldfish, does it scare you?

little goldfish, i wish i could take

your bowl and throw you into

the river.

i wish i could throw you on land

and watch you fade.

little goldfish, your suffering would end.

 

little goldfish,

where is your mind?
