Life in the goldfish bowl
going home with someone you don't know,
who won you at the throw-a-ball-in-the-basket stall
and
you wonder if it's your head spinning
or the bowl's spinning
and what are they doing winning me anyway?

and now I'm just a trophy
on a table in a hallway,
they didn't even name me
they certainly don't know me

that ******* threw a ball
and I end up in the hall,

life is krap.
in a goldfish bowl.
