Five Attempts To Understand My Goldfish


1.
Putrid being
too Dumb to stop basking in
Filth,
swimming in Sewage,
grabbing a Imaginary morsels,
Incapable of True Accomplishments.

2.
Quaint and Isolated.
A well match for the-
Less-
Organized and Devoted.

3.
Two quarters per Four grams,
floating in a Dollar gallon,
caged by a prison of Twenty,
consuming One Tenth of a Cent
every time the sun rises,
Costing Two chocolate bars upon expiration.

4.
Orange with Black stripes
like a Tiger in a watery jungle.
darting over Blues, Pinks
Ageds and Fadeds of Indeterminable color.

5.
the muse,
and serving as household god on Fridays,
whose infinite wisdom
is locked behind bulging eyes
that have drained to Pale Yellows
from watching the array of disasters.
pensive in his Teller’s Orb.
