sometimes
I like to pretend
that I'm a fish

carelessness
spreads inside of a round bowl
as I glide
toward floating flakes

oh,
serenity never tasted
so sweet

Thank you! :) And I'd have to say yes, being a goldfish would be nice. Their memory is so short term that it would seem almost impossible to have problems, and just swimming around eating fish food seems like a simple life to lead
