For
P and Q
two little
orange goldfishes,
In a colorful
Translucent bowl
Life goes
round and round
In endless circles
Of jovial delight
Playing hide and seek
Seek and hide,
Around little shells
Tirelessly
Relentlessly
Nibbling each other’s Gills
In playful thrills
Till day turns night
And night day
In timeless rotation
They travel together
Round and round
In sublime surrender
To time and space
They swim around
Chasing
No dreams
No disappointments
No thrills
No spills
Secure in their
Tidy little bowl
They swim side by side
in full delight
Naked and clean
In pure containment
No demands
No risks
No questions
No distractions
Only playful thrusts
Around each other’s tails
Round and round
They swim
Through Valentines
This is their full
circle of life
