Fishbowl Man

Into the fishbowl

I make my stand

Among the red fish

That shake my hand

The left of never

The right of me

The yellow water

Eternity

I'm in a fishbowl

I'm a fishbowl man

Up come the red fish

They speak to me

They tell me secrets

That shouldn't be

Mystical water

Bubble of birth

I pop the question

To Mother Earth

External internal constant longings

inside out flaccid dreams

silver wings

memory fading

the future snarls

she brings me a plate of black eyed sneers

waves crashing

forest burns

forced to impregnate itself to be freed

crack the whip

the horse has no conscience

whether to live or merely recede

pedestal landscapes maniacal reverence

naked she lies

clothed she pretends

my god I can't stand it

the systems the basics

humanity swearing because it's been born

non speaking monarch from fairy tale mishap

chartered a boat to visit my pain

we talked for hours then it all became clear

simply because I'm a Fishbowl man

I'm in a fishbowl

I'm a fishbowl man
