2/2/26 Waterlogged and swollen with woe. I wear my concrete clogs. Can peace be found in the undertow? Just another statistic to catalogue.

An Open Ended Journal Entry
Evening sky reflects on the glass lake. The soldier of a tree carries on through the lonesome night. If we could only see the dreams of the fish, far from the frying pan.

Dreams of the Fishes
Count the Raindrops, falling in a Rainstorm. Count the Leaves, that are there on a Tree. Count the Stars, Up there in Heaven. Count the Fishes, Swimming out at Sea. Take the Happiness, of the Universe. and Add them all, to a Love that never Ends. Her Heart, will taste only Laughter and Her Eyes, will hold U until the End.

Endless Love
Wasn't the one that fit in,    table to myself, an ocean                           of pressed wood that I float on alone.... But...     You know there's always a but, Never really wanted                                   anyone on        my life raft of solitude. I just look up and know that         there's no one to obscure        my view of life... My ocean is a fishery of thoughts,                                   that are mine. Swimming into   uncharted life choices... But I'm fine alone, I'll talk to the fishes every now and then. But throw them back              when I've finished with them..

I'm Used To It
There are plenty of fishes in the sea But which one will take the bait? You will come across so many different people But there will only be one that is suitable for you So it's okay to talk to a lot of guys In order to find the right one, There is a need for a trial and error afterall

This is called how to go deep into sea with harpoon and spores of magic mushrooms for getting nothing back home. Yes, because we are vegetarians and the turtles and jellyfishes belongs each other as my typo and i.

Typo.
There is a cat in my home, and slowly it has grown fatter from feasting on food that I own. I go to work every day, so theres no possible way that this cat could look for pray. Yet still, somehow, when I return, he's stuffed. Belly filled with pizza crust he looks as if he'll bust. Somehow he finds a way outside, where he roams to neighbors homes to fill up on old turkey bones. Second breakfast and for lunch this hungry cat would munch, till diner came, then the game would change and just like that this cat would be back. In the morning when I leave, this cat would beg that I come home with fishes. The begging grew bad, so I'de do exactly as she wishes. Heres the trouble: I feed her once, shes still hungry, so i feed her double. Hours of her mighty meow. Her, just sitting there constantly, bellowing just like a cow, until I provide her with her chow. Now, I tried feeding her less and getting her to run but Im just competing with my stress when that cats not having fun. She would sit and moan, Oh the noises she'd groan as Ide remove her from the cushion she had claimed as her thrown. After this cat had Disowned me, I had learned just like that, that infact it was actualy the cat who had owned me. See cats are a beast of nature, there a creature that can not be tampered. So when theyve been pampered and foods been delivered, you can bet a strong bet that this cat will expect to be treated with the  best packaged liver from a duck that Wal-Mart can deliver.

Too Old To Catch
The words are stuck In this throat of mine. I try to unleash them, But I don't know why I bother trying. What's the point? I see no point to any of it And still the words are stuck. They swim in my head, Like tiny, little fishes. I'm a terrible fisherman; I should mention that now. "Explain yourself!" The people say, And I try. I try very hard, but the little word-fishes Seem to always evade my hook. I simply stand there, in a daze, Mouth wide-open like a grouper. Opening. Closing. Searching. Grasping. Wishing that I could find the right words. But still, the words are stuck. The people become angry, Because they are hungry for my words. But I'm an awful fisherman, So they shouldn't rely on me. So I stand there, gaping. Opening and closing my mouth again, While the waves of my mind are crashing On the walls of my self-control. I fight hard, trying to sail through These hazardous oceans. But it is to no avail. I'll end up alone again, Gasping and choking for air as The waves drown me. And even still, The words are stuck.

The Words Are Stuck
Fish tank after fish tank all in a row, he peered in at the fish: small fishes, big fishes, different colours and patterns. Some flashed by or darted across the water in quick agitation, or they swam slow, philosophical, floating before him, mouthing bubbles at him, or just giving him the steady stare, wondering why he was there. He talked to them watching them for replies, taking the opening and closing mouths for signs of silent words. How are you? He'd whisper to the glass causing breath stains. He watched for them to say something in their fish language, or flap of fin. There were the big fish in the ponds, large and colourful, moving slow, coming to the edge, thinking he'd come to feed, or they'd move off in disgust or disappointment, with turn of head or fin or tail, and he took that as an answer somehow.

THE MAN WHO TALKED TO FISHES.
Coloured pebbles underneath Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red Just like the rainbow rhyme Four cute little lives swimming above them One in orange, plump just like the fruit Another in orange, lean as a carrot One in black, just like the night And one in orange and white, just like the morning light New to us and we new to them Lying at a corner, swimming around their small world wrapped in a glass bowl Grandma's gift for your upcoming birthday A fish bowl

Blue is not sure where to find the propeller. The motor boat sent to scotch the shimmer. The waves break inside a jar, and the little pieces are swept up by the wind and made into mist. The Jar is shaken, the titanic sinks, and the seagulls peck at our eyes. Covered in barnacles, the new-found fish men wander onto the sand and get coated, as in cornmeal, ready to fry. Infatuated and floundering they wander to water again. Drinking death hand over fist, they ring themselves out with simply a twist. The fish flap their fins so forcefully; trying to be flying to a sea called the sky. With a crumbled-ed crust they say, “motherboat or bust”, but the navigation of aviation is a compilation of great frustration for fishes whose function is on boats, wrapped up in those silly greatcoats. Yet they made it, or so they claim, and with only one flounder or flunder who had made a blunder to blame. If only old skipper had been a bit quicker, he wouldn't have had such a queer story to claim.

Odd, eh? Sea...
I can't rip myself asunder from such a magnanimous prepositional as this. While the fishes hang from my window like little ice-ickles in spring. So foams the frosty beverage that tells the gills to sing. Twilight music and the sonnets contained therein have little left to offer us, save a right-winged jerry-bin. So the muse of ages goes round and around and around for the malarkey of a daffodil creates folds and hills where none exist.

A soul is being able to exist in earth. Being able to feel and consider yourself a beautiful creature that was put here for a reason. A soul is something that has all of you in once place and it already knows everything you like and the emotions you carry and the moves you make. It's the brain for our whole body and why you do the things you do. It's a map that you don't know, but it knows. Your soul is what makes a human a human, a cat a cat, a fish a fish.

Soul Searching
I am searching through the ghastly depths below the seas, Where the sunlight still shines through the waters. I find an interesting village...A haven for creatures in this Dead, lifeless ocean floor. I did not know so much life teemed through this rock. Intricate sea creatures swim through the teeming corals like red liquid flows through narrow blood vessels. Each with a purpose, each with a task. One species benefits the other, and vice versa. The sea cannot live without one, and one cannot live without the other. This makes me question the point of me being the world. Am I something of importance, Or a seemingly dangerous virus? Really, I cannot tell who I shall be, Until I live out the rest of my life, and find out, Who I really am, and the person that will grieve for me the most when I'm gone.
