"FISH TANK"
Clean water in the fish tank Rocks free of slime, algae Oxygen pump has charcoal Glass, four sides clear for viewing
All living things removed but one
Whale of a goldfish left inside
Keeps the tank alive, interesting
Staying here for the lonely nights
Do I trust you to feed my fish Change the water, cartridge filter Promises in the dark, almost winter You seldom poke from underneath the ice
Keep me swimming in circles Dizzy I drown, not once but twice Gasping for air, I cough goodbye When I'm gone, the catfish dies.
