Goldfish


In their glass cage
all day long
waiting for bubbles
or manna from above.
They touch occasionally
more my accident than design,
a nibble here,
a flick of the tail there.
What’s that light?
That sound?
That vibration?
Suddenly one puts on a turn of speed.
No reason.
The others pretend not to notice.
