Pets

My fish are questions

swimming— to, fro; in circles

inside my tufted bowl

I feed them daily,

but sparingly—

small answers only

Larger fish are carnivorous,

saltier, searching for other fare

they slide a path

to my soft underbelly,

eating infrequently, but

biting deeply, they devour

me slowly. I watch them

carefully, gazing inward

as their fish eyes stare out
