Goldfish And Guns


3WW
raspy obedient sombre

there was no point
in him making threats
demanding obedience
in a raspy voice with a gun

fish was disengaged
swimming round and round
year in year out
sombre and self absorbed
trying to make sense of it all

  1. I must be the fish: I still haven't made sense of it all (and probably never will).

  3. Fresh water and food the fish is happy and the gun means nothing. Much like global warming to the majority of the world's population.

  4. Goldfish are born disengaged. Hopefully the safety catch isn't.

  6. Fish have short memories - after a lap or two he'll have forgotten about the guy with the gun! We could learn a lot from our fishy friends.

  7. Put Fish in a large bath for a change. The change will do Fish good. Add a few toys and sea weed. Be careful when removing the plug, though.
