Over goldfish

14 February 2009

I can't have you?
   good heavens,
I never thought of you like that;
       a possession to gather,
       a piece of luggage with my tags.

As just some friend, I had thought to draw something deeper from your closedness,

but I don't want to have you.

Who asks to own sunshine, or fresh water, or happiness? I don't claim you
       like some item at will-call.

I read in the WSJ this week that in Switzerland, it's illegal to flush a goldfish down the toilet without knocking him/her out first. True story.
