swimming around skeleton fisherman


fish are interesting
people

fish don't think
it's necessary


to act like someone
they are not

they don't
think they need
to pretend to 
care...

but i like to
think they care
without
having to be
rewarded
for that


i think
that I'm
not far

from their
world


swimming amongst
plastic reefs

swimming beside
skeleton fisherman

connecting with those
that connect with me

i think that fish
are independent
thinkers

independent
swimmers

introverted

but choosing
to choose

other fish
like them

i think they're
content

to be
who they are

quite happy
to not
be bound

to the
unnecessary expectations
of others

but having
the heart
to care
for other fish

without the
false reward
of applause


i'm content
in my
fishtank

with the
plastic reefs
and
skeleton fisherman
