FISH TANK
the filter says bubble bubble bubble the pump says whirr whirr whirr the goldfish swims ignorantly-- the filter says bubble bubble bubble it travels nimbly through the caves-- the pump says whirr whirr whirr it gaily nibbles pebbles-- the filter says bubble bubble bubble the piranha lunges at the tail-- the pump says whirr whirr whirr a head swims aimlessly-- the filter says bubble bubble bubble the pump says whirr whirr whirr This poem first appeared in Purple Patch, Issue 85, December 1995. |
