GOLDFISH BOWL:

There’s a tree growing up through the middle of the house,
Cacti spill out of random pots,
Terracotta blobs,
And White,
And Blue,
And Green,
And White,
And Red,
And Blue,
And Stone,
And Green,
And White,
And White,
And Blue,
And laughing,

There’s a tree growing up through the middle of the house,
Tethered to a wall like the family pet,
Swaying in gentle morning breeze,
The architecture is drunk again,
I’m inside a goldfish bowl again,

The distance between us,
Seagull,
Buying bootleg CDs,
Seagull,
Stealing breakfast breads,
Laughing,
Escapes to the sky,
Stranger with a camera,
Snapping pictures of the sun,
Plant life,
Alien broom,
Ariel stray cat,
Atlantic Ocean,
Tides,
Waves,
Moaning sleepless,
Ceramic irritation,
Intervention,
Secret interloper,
A bashed up truck playing on a beach in the sun,

Don’t stare at me,
Don’t ask me,
I wish you hadn’t looked me up on the internet.
