Yesterday morning, I saw
the beautiful beta fish on top of the fish tank
How? Why?
Lying there, hardly breathing
The superb colourful fish that draws
everyone’s look onto itself
with all its gorgeousness
was simply lying there,
in the middle of the glass roof,
far from any opening,
under the hot lights –
on the brink of death.
Was the fish tank too small?
Did it feel like a trap?
So silent and listless,
the fish isn’t inclined to chat.
