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

i feel a change coming.
the dust that cling on the
billowing breeze go past
the window pane.
it is sadness they always bring.
they blur the glass windows.
they antiquate the television
and alter the shade of things
into the lonely color of wood.
from my bed, i noticed
the green curtain swaying to
the direction of the air
spun by the whirring electric fan.
it's a shade sadder than yesterday
a color almost like the half-withered
leaves of May.
