5 GOLDFISHES

1.55am / 2.24.09

Five goldishes in an aquarium
thinking they are treading the empyrean
inside a burning room of loud music
and murky thoughts .
Have their mothers told them
their memory only lasts three seconds?
Just when they learn they're swimming in hell,
they're back in heaven again.
Three-second memory. a bliss?

****just so you know i have 5 goldfishes that i feed everyday. last weekend i saw them in my dreams drowning which is a very strange way of telling me that i had to change the water in the aquarium. never really thought goldishes have telepathic powers.. tsk tsk
